Women Lawyers: Equals at the Bar?

The times they are a-changing - or are they? Do female lawyers need to be Superwoman to survive? Is motherhood welcomed, tolerated or rejected at the Bar? What makes for a successful advocate? Is gender relevant? What about career progression? Are women fairly represented on the Bench and in its most senior courts? Is there practice or appointment discrimination and if so what is being done about it? This lecture will explore the reality of life at the Bar and why vocation matters. The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/womens-lawyers-equals-at-the-bar Gresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.
