The Rt Hon Dame Heather Hallett was the keynote speaker at this year’s Women in Law Dinner, which was held at the Midland Hotel, in Manchester in May.
Dame Heather, who is the Vice President of the Court of Appeal, gave an inspiring speech covering, among other topics, mentoring and her route to the judiciary.
Organiser Sally Penni, a barrister at Kenworthys Chambers and Vice Chair of Association of Women Barristers (AWB), said: “The dinner offers young women starting out in their careers an excellent opportunity to talk to senior women and men across the profession. The evening is designed to encourage, inspire and support the next generation of lawyers.”
