On 7 October, Coram Chambers sponsored a Women In Law event at Middle Temple Hall in London, which helped provide an introduction to the possibilities of a law career led by The Girls’ Network via access to female legal professionals, including barristers, solicitors, judges, trainee solicitors, pupils, and solicitor apprentices.
The event featured talks, workshops, a debate, and a panel talk, with the aim of providing insights and inspiration to the attendees.
The event was supported by Coram Chambers barristers Maya Achan, Ramanjit Kang, and Sophie Kay.
Maya Achan, shared details of her journey to becoming a barrister and how working in law can have such a positive effect on people’s lives.
The day also included a networking opportunity for the legal women, providing a space for them to meet and speak in Middle Temple Garden Rooms after the event.
Additionally, the event provided a historical backdrop, as it took place at Middle Temple Hall, a prestigious venue with a rich and fascinating history. The Middle Temple has long been at the heart of countless intersecting spheres of history and culture, functioning not only as an important centre of legal education but also as a hub for socializing, networking, and various other activities.
The history of the Middle Temple spans over eight centuries, encompassing its members’ contributions to the practice and study of law and their achievements in cultural, political, navigational, architectural, and revolutionary endeavours. The Inn’s history includes key periods such as the rise and fall of the Knights Templar, its emergence as a society of lawyers, its endurance throughout significant social upheavals, and its evolution to adapt to the changing world and the evolving needs of its members in the 21st century.
Coram Chambers remains committed to supporting opportunities for people to access the legal profession and representation, and events like the Women In Law serve as a testament to this commitment.
