Being perceived as ‘too young’, ‘too emotional’, ‘too female’, ‘too bossy’, or ‘not authoritative enough’; being interrupted, overlooked, or denied proper credit — these are just some of the invisible hurdles that, despite significant progress, women continue to face in the legal profession. This session explores the invisible ‘rules’ and unwritten expectations — unconscious bias, gendered assumptions, cultural norms, power structures and the double standards women face — and focuses on how to challenge them and create a fairer and more equitable legal profession.
