International Women's Day Society Highlight: Women in Law

International Women's Day Society Highlights
Hi, everyone as we celebrate International Women’s day, we wanted to share some amazing societies at the University of Leicester that are doing some amazing work to support and empower women.

Although International Women's day itself may have passed, here at the University of Leicester we feel that all sections of society deserve a constant voice and so we want to carry on the discussion looking at these societies.

Women in Law Society
The Women in Law Society is dedicated to empowering and motivating women in the legal field through networking and professional development. Their mission is to close the gap for future female lawyers by connecting them with professionals and peers who can provide guidance and inspiration.

Key Achievements:
Established the FFF Mentoring Scheme connecting 35+ legal practitioners from the UK and Canada with students
Received recognition from Lady Hale for Society Foundation
