Celebrating International Women’s Day
To celebrate International Women’s Day Support Through Court will be showcasing the leading women in the legal sector who are breaking barriers and advocating for women’s place within it, challenging the gender norms and stereotypes they have encountered.
The event will be an evening panel discussion on Zoom, with speakers sharing their experiences within the sector and what challenges they have had to overcome. There will also be an audience Q+A portion at the end of the event where attendees can send in their questions.

- Christina Blacklaws, former President of the Law Society
- Dame Bobbie Cheema-Grubb, the first Asian woman to serve as a High Court Judge in the UK
