Our guest today, Lady Brenda Hale, is one of Great Britain and Northern Ireland's best known lawyers. Her legal career has taken her to the very peak of the UK  judicial system as President of the Supreme Court, and the cases that she decided, along with her colleagues made it to the front pages of the newspapers. In 2004 she became the United Kingdom's first female Lords of Appeal in Ordinary after a varied career as a Professor of Law in Manchester, Law Commissioner at the Law Commission, a Judge, and she was the first woman to become the President of the Supreme Court.

Breaking Legal Glass Ceilings is a series of conversations with leading lawyers from backgrounds outside the law.

David Lock KC explores how successful lawyers made it into the professions, what they did to get on, what legal practice demanded from them, what they did to stand out from their peers, and their top tips for the aspiring lawyers of tomorrow.

We would also like to invite you to join the conversation, and you can email us with your comments and questions at [email protected], and you can find us on Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn.

We look forward to sharing these conversations with you, and very much hope you enjoy them.
