The achievements of female lawyers may not seem “remarkable” for much longer following reports that seven out of 10 students at the College of Law are female.
During the College of Law’s degree congregation, the chairman of college governors, Charles Plant paid tribute to the achievements of Baroness Hale of Richmond. “It is testimony to the tenacity of the structural and cultural barriers that have traditionally confronted women, that it should seem remarkable that someone of her intellectual calibre and academic achievements should have attained these positions.”
He continued: “It is also testimony to all that tenacious women lawyers have achieved that it will not be seen as in any way remarkable when women achieve high public or judicial office.”
