DESCRIPTION:In 1992 Helena Kennedy wrote a seminal work on women and the c
 riminal justice system called Eve Was Framed. She updated the book in 2003
  and is using this lecture to review the subsequent changes which have tak
 en place but also the challenges which remain for women in the courts as d
 efendants\, victims and as lawyers. She will argue that  a veneer of equal
  opportunity and fairness now exists but the system itself resists fundame
 ntal change because of law's role in maintaining the status quo and its in
 ability to counter the power of vested interests. She will consider the ro
 le of women judges and their scarcity in positions of seniority within the
  judiciary.
