Legal movers and shakers

On Friday 7 August the Faculty of Law took time out to celebrate ahead of Women's Day on 9 August, with students and academic, administrative, support and cleaning staff enjoying a programme of sharing, coaching and relaxing together in the Staff Common Room.

In her welcome Jameelah Omar (Department of Public Law) said that while the business of law and women was a serious issue, reflected in language, health, criminal justice issues and property rights, Women's Day events reminded them "sometimes it's just about getting together and having fun".
