Chief Master Shuman made legal history as the first woman appointed Chief Chancery Master

Interviewed by journalist Grania Langdon-Down for this week’s NLJ, Chief Master Shuman talks about her career to date, the conversation about whether to keep the title ‘Master’ or move to something the public would understand means a judge, and the importance of diversity and equality of opportunity (and more importantly how to achieve it).

Quoted by Langdon-Down, Shuman says: ‘Our profile needs to change. But that’s true at all levels in the senior judiciary.”
