Lady Hale
Lady Hale is to pay tribute to the women who broke through the glass ceiling of the legal profession at a University of Dundee event next week.
‘Pioneering Women in the Judiciary with Rt Hon the Baroness Hale of Richmond’ forms part of Dundee Women’s Festival 2022. The event will take place online at 7pm on Wednesday 9 March.
Lady Hale served as the most senior judge in the UK prior to her retirement in January 2020. Before becoming a judge, she worked as an academic lawyer and barrister and was the first woman member of the Law Commission.
Speaking ahead of the event, she said: “Today’s women have a lot to learn from the brave pioneers of the past, not least in the law, so let’s salute and celebrate the first women judges.”
This event is being coordinated by Dundee’s Leverhulme Research Centre for Forensic Science (LRCFS) and the University of Dundee Chaplaincy.
Professor Niamh Nic Daeid, director of LRCFS, said: “We are absolutely delighted that Baroness Hale has agreed to present at this special online event, which promises to be a truly memorable and inspiring evening coinciding with the Dundee Women’s Festival.”
Tickets for the event can be obtained via Eventbrite.
