To mark the Edinburgh Foundation for Women in Law’s 10th anniversary, join co-founders Professor Lesley McAra and Karina McTeague for the EFWiL Reflections Lecture 2024 on Thursday, 24 October.

They will discuss the past, present and future of EFWiL’s work to break down barriers, promote equal opportunities, and inspire a new generation of legal professionals who will shape a more equitable and just society. The presentation will be followed by a drinks reception.

EFWiL was founded in 2014 and developed out of a conversation between Professor Lesley McAra CBE FRSE (then dean of the Law School) and Edinburgh Law School alumna Karina McTeague FRSE (LLB, 1984 & PGD, 1985 & Honorary LLD, 2019).

The impetus for the foundation was the difficulty faced by women in reaching the top of the legal profession, despite the fact that there has been gender parity in terms of graduating law students for over thirty years.
