Inspired by the centenary of Dr Ivy Williams, the first woman called to the Bar in England and Wales, we interviewed Judge Nicola Davies and Tribunal judge Safia Iman as they spoke to each other about their experiences as women in the judiciary.
The interview was filmed at the historic Royal Courts of Justice as part of the Judicial Service diversity series. These interviews aim to draw attention to the different experiences of judges from different jurisdictions and backgrounds. In this unique interview, both judges spoke to each other to share their personal journeys.
Lady Justice Nicola Davies is the first female judge of the Court of Appeal for Wales, and tribunal judge Safia Iman only joined the judiciary last year. Among the topics they reflected on were their early experiences as lawyers, what inspired them to pursue a career in law, their female role models and what advice they would give to young women entering the profession.
Giving advice, Lady Justice Nicola Davies said: “The first piece of advice would be to believe in yourself. Have confidence in your abilities and go for it. Anything is possible, I think if I’ve done it, anyone can do it.
Tribunal judge Safia Iman added: “I hope that anyone who watches this will see how accessible the justice system can be and how it is moving forward.”
