2010 Ethel Benjamin Address

The Rt Hon. The Baroness Hale of Richmond DBE QC PC gave the 2010 NZ Law Foundation Ethel Benjamin Address in Dunedin on 7 May. Lady Hale was the first (and still is the only) woman law lord, and sits on the UK's new Supreme Court. The theme of her address was "dignity". The Address is hosted by OWLS and is supported by the NZ Law Foundation, the Otago Branch of the NZLS and the Law Faculty of the University of Otago.
