Book description

As the first woman to be appointed President of the UK Supreme Court, Brenda Hale was one of the UK's most high profile and influential judges, and she is among the most powerful women leaders of our time. For almost half a century, she pioneered as an educator, reformer, and decision-maker, leaving a distinct mark on the law and the lives of many. In commemoration of her recent retirement from the Supreme Court, this collection celebrates her long and illustrious career. Organised by thematic chapters and featuring original research from leading academics, judges and lawyers, this book offers a comprehensive account of Lady Hale's achievements and enduring impact. The contributors, many of whom were her peers and colleagues, demonstrate how Hale forged her own path within male-dominated institutions, carved a space for herself and others, and, ultimately, endeavoured to promote justice for everyone.

Reviews

‘The aim of the book is to provide enjoyment and reflection to students and practitioners who want to ‘learn more about the jurisprudence and legal lives of this remarkable woman’. The collection succeeds in this and provides an expert and comprehensive account of how its subject has helped to shape socio-legal history across six decades.’

‘It is thorough and detailed, and readers will come away from the text with a greater appreciation of Hale not only as a legal scholar, but as a woman.’
