Lady Hale: inspiring a new legal generation

nlj_7798_news_2

The life and career of Lady Hale, trailblazing judge and first woman to become a Justice of the Supreme Court and later President of the court, is to be the subject of a children’s book.

An initiative of the Legal Action Group (LAG), the book will be illustrated by Henny Beaumont and written by Rebecca Omonira-Oyekanmi and Afua Hirsch.

Laura Janes, Chair of LAG, said: ‘The book will not only be an inspirational story of Lady Hale’s achievements but will also introduce children to the legal system, the concept of equal access to justice, the importance of the rule of law and how it affects us all.’

LAG has launched a fundraising campaign for £25,000 to publish the book. Find the fundraising page at: www.wonderful.org/charity/lag.
