Cambridge Women in Law (CWIL) is an exciting new social network of alumnae at the Faculty of Law, University of Cambridge, which features a diverse range of women from all sectors. CWIL was officially launched on 27 September with an event to mark the centenary of the passing of the Sex Disqualification (Removal) Act 1919, when women were finally allowed to practise. The aim of the event, which coincided with the Cambridge Alumni Festival, was to celebrate the contribution of Law alumnae into legal practice and to the wider world. The Faculty also hosted an exhibition of the much heralded First 100 Years Project (https://first100years.org.uk/). The event was divided into three parts: The first was a panel focusing on issues facing women in practice. Second there was a panel which was oriented around women who have had an impact on the world outside practice, such as in the field of public policy. Finally, there was a discussion with UK Supreme Court Justices Lady Hale and Lady Arden. Equality and diversity were key discussion themes throughout. This video is the first Panel, introduced by Professor Brian Cheffins (Chair of the Faculty) and Dana Denis-Smith (creator of First 100 Years Project) and moderated by Pippa Rogerson (Master of Gonville & Caius College): Panel 1: Women in Practice: - Caoilfhionn Gallagher Q.C. – Barrister at Doughty Street Chambers, specialising in human rights and civil liberties. - Shauna Gillan – Part time Immigration Judge and barrister at 1 Pump Court, specialising in refugee/immigration, human rights and public law. - Jessica Gladstone – Partner at Clifford Chance, and also Co-founding director and trustee of Advocates for International Development (A4ID); and Chair of the Board of Rule of Law Expertise UK (ROLE UK). - Priya Lele – Legal Process Design Lead, UK, US & EMEA at Herbert Smith Freehills, and co-founder of ‘She Breaks The Law’. - Sara Luder – Partner and Head of Tax at Slaughter and May. - Elaine Penrose – Partner at Hogan Lovells in Litigation, Arbitration, and Employment Group. - Amanda Pinto Q.C. – Vice-Chair of the Bar; specialist in corporate crime, money laundering, corruption, art crime and business wrong-doing at the Chambers of Andrew Mitchell QC, 33 Chancery Lane.
