Speaker and Guest of Honour
We are delighted to welcome Baroness Hale of Richmond as our Speaker and Guest of Honour for the evening.
Baroness Hale, an alumna of Girton College, is the former President of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom. In 2004, she was appointed the first female Lord of Appeal in Ordinary in the House of Lords. She served as Law Lord until 2009, when she became vice-president of the Supreme Court. In her early years, Lady Hale worked in academia and became a professor of law at the University of Manchester.
She gained international attention in 2019 when she ruled on behalf of the Supreme Court that Boris Johnson's prorogation of the British Parliament was illegal.
The Baroness will talk on the subject of "Women in the Justice System".
