Our Women in Law

This year our #UoBWomeninLaw series will focus on women in law, our women in law, and celebrating the achievements of academics, alumni, students and others that have supported the growth of the school.

Inspirational leaders

We are very fortunate to be supported by a number of high profile women, from Shami Chakrabarti, barrister, Shadow Attorney General and former Director of human rights group Liberty, through Lady Hale, first female President of the Supreme Court to our very own Head of School - a leader in the field of gender law. Find out more about some of our inspirational women in law. 

Inspirational students

Explore the stories of some of our inspiring students past and present, from Q&A’s with current students and successful recent graduates embarking on their law careers to articles about alumna influencing international policy.
