UK Supreme Court Cases | 2021
UK Supreme Court | Congratulations to #LadyJusticeRose who has joined the #UKSupremeCourt, doubling the number of female justices in the UK’s highest court!

"Diversity should not only be seen as an aspect of good corporate responsibility; successfully encouraging more women to enter the ADR & legal profession will ultimately support industry. The opportunities for women are immense but these opportunities need to be actively promoted and developed for the benefit of business and arguably society as a whole. The contribution that women can make in this important area should not be frustrated as a result of outdated views relating to gender stereotypes." Yvonne Hanly MPD Read More |
