The Heilbron Lecture Series

The Next 100 Years, the new project from the team behind the First 100 Years, is dedicated to achieving equality for women in law.

Next 100 Years

Law Commissioner Professor Sarah Green delivers her lecture titled, 'Learning Our Time's Fables', following an introduction from Lady Hale.

Named after the legendary legal pioneer Dame Rose Heilbron QC, our lecture series aims to champion female experts in the legal profession by giving them a platform to deliver thought-provoking lectures that shape the debate on topical legal issues. We also hope to thereby counter the often male-dominated lecture circuit.This year&#x27;s lecture, &#x27;Learning Our Time&#x27;s Fables&#x27; by Law Commissioner Professor Sarah Green, will explore certain paradoxes of the pandemic, including how we are more connected and yet more isolated than before. Sarah will explore how work patterns and their organisation are going to change for the long term and the importance that the diverse range of women&#x27;s voices are central to shaping those new patterns. Why women? Because they have more experience in aggregate of trying to achieve a balance and also because being in the &quot;home&quot; environment is generally more charged for women than it is for men. Also explored in this thought-provoking lecture will be the topics of what the law can do in relation to flexible working, the embracing of technology for more effective flexible working, as well as the following questions: Is the law enough, or does there still need to be a cultural shift? Does the practice of law suffer particularly from the reduction in physical presence?We will be joined by our patron, Lady Hale, who will introduce the lecture. This year&#x27;s lecture will conclude with a 15-minute Q&amp;A.
