“So many times over the past year or so I have really pinched myself and wondered if I'm dreaming. Today was one such moment. I was lucky enough to be the President of The Law Society who had the absolute honour and privilege of formally welcoming and congratulating our first ever Lady Chief Justice, Dame Sue Carr, on behalf of the solicitors' profession at her swearing-in ceremony at the Royal Courts of Justice. To be a small part of such a historic day was humbling. I wish the Lady Chief Justice the very best of luck in her new role. As well as ensuring the rule of law is upheld, I know that she is passionate about increasing diversity within the judiciary and I look forward to working closely with her to offer any support I can.
