We are delighted to invite you (or a suitable representative) to “A Celebration of Women in Law”, hosted by The Chief Executives’ Club at Queen’s University Belfast in partnership with the First 100 Years project, A&L Goodbody and Danske Bank.

This celebratory event will take place on 28 November 2024, from 8:30am – 10:30am, at Riddel Hall, 185 Stranmillis Road, Belfast, BT9 5EE.

This event marks the 10th anniversary of the First 100 Years project, founded by Dana Denis-Smith. This ground-breaking history project is dedicated to ensuring a strong and equal future for all women in law, by raising awareness of their history and inspiring future generations of female lawyers.

The event will feature an ‘In Conversation With’ panel discussion, with distinguished guests:

• Rt Hon The Baroness Hale of Richmond DBE, the first female President of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom
• Lady Chief Justice The Right Honourable Siobhan Keegan DBE, the first woman to serve as Lord Chief Justice of Northern Ireland
• Professor Aoife O’Donoghue, Professor of Law at Queen's University Belfast and co-director of the Doing Feminist Legal Work Network and the Northern/Ireland Feminist Judgments project
• Sophie Crumlin, a final-year Law with Politics student, Queen’s University Belfast

This conversation will explore the remarkable progress of women in law, while addressing ongoing challenges in the profession. The event is not only focused on women’s rights but is committed to the belief that gender, race, religion, or any other personal attributes should never hinder anyone's career in the workplace.

We would be delighted to have you join us for this thought-provoking engagement.

Places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis so please RSVP at your earliest convenience.
