Женщины в Великобритании
До 20 -го века в Соединенном Королевстве было мало женщин. До Закона о дисквалификации пола (удаление) 1919 года женщинам не было разрешено практиковать закон в Соединенном Королевстве . [ 1 ] К 1931 году было около 100 женщин -адвокатов . [ 1 ] Первое юридическое партнерство только для женщин было основано в 1933 году. [ 2 ] В 2010 году доклад адвоката показал, что 22 процента партнеров в 100 лучших фирмах Великобритании были женщины; Последующий отчет в 2015 году показал, что цифра не изменилась. [ 3 ] С 2014 года ряд крупных корпоративных фирм адвокатов устанавливают целевые показатели гендерного разнообразия для увеличения процента женщин в своих партнерских отношениях. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] [ 6 ] К 2019 году 51% британских солиситоров были женщинами. [ 2 ]

Barristers and solicitors
[edit]In 1903, Bertha Cave applied to join Gray's Inn; the application was ultimately rejected.[11] In 1913, the Law Society refused to allow women to take legal exams; this was challenged in the Court of Appeal in the case of Bebb v The Law Society, where the Law Society's stance was upheld.[1] The plaintiff in that case was Gwyneth Bebb, who was expected to be the first female to be called to the bar but died before that could happen.[12][13] The Sex Disqualification (Removal) Act 1919 received Royal Assent on 23 December 1919.[2] The next day, Helena Normanton became the first woman to join an Inns of Court.[14]

Thus, in 1922, Ivy Williams was the first woman called to the bar (although she never practiced),[15][16][17][18] and Helena Normanton became the first practising female barrister in the UK.[19][20][21] In September 2018 a barristers' chambers was renamed in her honour.[22] Williams was also the first woman to teach law at an English university,[15] In 2022, Jessikah Inaba became the first Black visually-impaired (female) barrister in the United Kingdom.[23]
Regarding solicitors, Madge Easton Anderson became the first female solicitor in the United Kingdom in 1920 upon being admitted to practice law in Scotland.[24][20] In 1922, Carrie Morrison, Mary Pickup, Mary Sykes, and Maud Crofts became the first women in England to qualify as solicitors; Morrison was the first of them admitted as a solicitor.[1][25] Kathleen Hoahing became the first female to qualify as a solicitor in Britain in 1927, though she would relocate soon afterwards to China.[26][27][28]
Senior advocate or barrister
[edit]Helena Normanton and Rose Heilbron became the first two female barristers to be appointed King's Counsel in 1949.[29] Heibron was also the first woman to achieve a first class honours degree in law at the University of Liverpool (in 1935), England's first woman judge as Recorder of Burnley (in 1956), the first woman to sit as a judge in the Old Bailey (in 1972), and the second female High Court judge (in 1974).[29] Patricia Scotland was the first Black female to become a Queen's Counsel in the United Kingdom in 1991,[30] and whereas Kim Hollis became the first Asian female barrister to become Queen's Counsel in 2002 in the United Kingdom.[31]
Law society
[edit]In 2002, the Law Society appointed its first female President, Carolyn Kirby.[2] In 2021, Stephanie Boyce became the first Black female President of the Law Society.[32] In 2022, Lubna Shuja became the first Asian and Muslim (female) President of the Law Society.[33]

Elizabeth Lane (1940) became the first female County Court judge (1962), and the first English High Court judge (1965).[35][36] Although not a barrister, Pauline Henriques became the United Kingdom's first Black female magistrate in 1966.[37] Chand Lal-Sarin became Britain's first female magistrate of Indian-origin in 1970.[38] In 1978, Heilbron became the first woman to become the Presiding Judge of any Circuit when she was appointed to the Northern Circuit.[29] Linda Dobbs became the first Black (female) High Court judge in 2004.[32] In 2015, Bobbie Cheema-Grubb became the first Asian (female) High Court judge[39] In 2020, Raffia Arshad became the first hijab-wearing court judge in the United Kingdom.[40]
Baroness Hale became the first female Justice (2009) and President (2017) of the Supreme Court.[41][35][42] She was also the first female to become a Law Lord in the House of Lords of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in 2004.
