Launch of Diversity, Equality and Inclusion Sub-Committee

Launch of Diversity, Equality and Inclusion Sub-Committee Event – 13th October 2022

DDLS were pleased to work with Alec Stephens and Jade Dickson from the University of Derby Law Society to present this event.

Thanks to Shas Ruparel who expertly chaired the event and presented the students questions to our varied panel of Hasnat Bashir, family Barrister from St Ives Chambers, Vee Monro, District Judge and Barrister, Theo Addae, criminal Solicitor from the Johnson partnership and Asheidu Joel, cultural intelligence trainer.

The students and members of DDLS who attended were interested to hear the various journeys of the individual panel members and were inspired by their success against some significant obstacles.

The theme for the day became “you can only become what you can see” and our panel members where keen to relay that perseverance is needed but will pay off.

Thank you to everyone who made this event possible and if anyone is interested in joining the DEI subcommittee or has ideas for an event please e-mail Julia at admin@derbylaw.net
