Newcastle University Law School will stage a permanent photographic exhibition of “inspirational women of the law”, to encourage female students to see the campaigning potential of law. Professor Kathryn Hollingsworth who, along with colleague Dr Nikki Godden, organised the exhibition which opens next month, says: ‘When I arrived at Newcastle Law School in 2010, I was struck by the fact that all the pictures of lawyers hanging on the walls were of male judges.” Guildford Four solicitor Gareth Peirce and justice campaigner Baroness Doreen Lawrence are among those honoured.
