 Wikipedia: Lord Chancellor
The Lord Chancellor is a member of the Cabinet and heads a department known as the Lord Chancellor's Department, responsible for the administration of the courts, the appointment of judges, etc.
Although the Lord Chancellor is usually a senior lawyer rather than a judge, he upon appointment becomes president of the Appellate Committees of the House of Lords (which is a court and a house of Parliament) and (conventionally) of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, the highest courts that exist in the United Kingdom.
The previous Lord Chancellor, Lord Irvine of Lairg refused to rule out sitting as a judge, and the radical proposals that came with his replacement are partly due to his refusal to take this step.

The previous Lord Chancellor, Lord Irvine of Lairg refused to rule out sitting as a judge, and it has been argued that the radical proposals that came with his replacement are partly due to his refusal to take this simple step.
Lord Falconer duly appeared in the House of Lords the next working day in full-bottomed wig and breeches to preside as Lord Chancellor, as he is required to do by the Standing Orders of the House every day the House is sitting unless he has obtained a leave of absence.
Recent media reports suggest that while the Lords may consent to some reforms, including the Government's plans to create a supreme court to assume the judicial functions of the House of Lords, it is unlikely to assent to the outright abolition of the Lord Chancellorship.
