Speaker: Dr Judith Bourne, Co-Director of the Centre for Law and Culture at St Mary’s University, London After years of effort Helena Normanton was finally able to join the Middle Temple as a student on Christmas Eve 1919. Less than three years later she became only the second woman to be Called, later becoming one of the first women King’s Counsel. Her biographer, Dr Judith Bourne will help us celebrate this determined and remarkable member of the Inn. Bookings close on Thursday 31 October.
