Thursday Morning Riddle

I’m a colleague who edits, or papers review;
I’m a juror in theory; stare narrowly through;
I am one of your friends that puts pressure on you;
And a status of rank that a Brit ascends to.

Who am I?

UPDATE: Riddle solved by Asher. See comments for answer.

  3. Asher Says:

    This one really gave me a hard time.

  4. Bill Says:

    It’s always hard for me to judge how hard these are.

    Here’s the breakdown, in case others are stumped:

    Line 1: Peer edit, Peer review
    Line 2: A jury of one’s peers, the verb “to peer”
    Line 3: Peer pressure
    Line 4: A peer in the UK is someone who is a member of the nobility, like a duke or an earl.
