Expert Advocacy Guidance from Women in Law

In 2020, the ICCA set out to create a film showcasing some of the leading UK women judges and barristers who have each contributed to the development of the law and the practice of advocacy.

2020 was a significant time when we saw the retirement of Lady Brenda Hale, the first-ever woman President of the Supreme Court, and the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsberg. Both of these remarkable women were strong advocates for gender equality.

Our film set out to provide expert guidance in various aspects of advocacy. We hope that it inspires many others to follow in the footsteps of those who have gone before them and helps to shape the lawyers of the future. We are delighted that this film features the first-ever Lady Chief Justice, Dame Sue Carr.
