Jessica van der Meer
You'll be hearing from my lawyer
A conversation series about women barristers making a life at the Bar of England and Wales. Host Jessica van der Meer talks to a variety of women lawyers - from high-profile judges to barristers just starting out - about sexism, racism, money, family and how they've made a life at the Bar. It's an opportunity to discuss openly and honestly the things we, as women and barristers, experience a lot and should probably speak about more.
