One of the virtues of modern justice systems is legal equality. Yet in a world where women's and men's experience tends to be so different, do (and can) universal notions of justice hold true? How, if at all, are women written into the law, treated by the law, and judged before the law? Are universal standards of behaviour and rationality in reality male standards?  

And in a system traditionally dominated by men and male norms, how do women working in the justice system fare? 

In this John Fitzsimons Memorial Lecture Baroness Helena Kennedy QC will address these and other questions.

Helena Kennedy is one of Britain's most distinguished lawyers and active public figures. She has spent her professional life giving voice to those who have least power within the system, championing civil liberties and promoting human rights.
