“ We’ll know we’ve made it when there are mediocre women in senior positions, as God knows there are enough mediocre men there.”
Mrs Justice Dobbs speaking at the Association of Women Solicitors conference
I enjoyed reading this speech… robust and to the point. I quote: “I am but .6 or.8% of the senior judiciary, I can’t even manage a whole percentage point. As senior judge for diversity, that is an issue, which is high on my agenda and to which I will return.”

I was able to reply that I am ‘resurrected’, very much alive and blogging… and will be doing more podcasts tomorrow – one with The Bollo Manager, the other with a barrister friend of mine who also sits as an Immigration Judge.
Clearly, I shall have to be more careful if I decide to have another ‘conceptual revision’ and die again.
