This event marked International Women’s Day 2022 with a conversation between Marcia Willis Stewart KC (Hon), Managing Partner at Birnberg Peirce, Henna Masih, a Westminster Law School alumnus, and Manvir Grewal, Senior Lecturer in Law at the University of Westminster.
The dialogue focused on Marcia's unconventional pathway to the legal profession, her experience as a Black woman lawyer in a leading civil liberties firm and the challenge of undertaking high-profile cases. The discussion and question and answer session identified broader themes around civil liberties, activism, the nature of justice, diversity in the legal profession and Marcia’s advice to law students.
The event was hosted by Harriet Samuels, Reader in Law at the University of Westminster.
