If you're coming to Coles by car, why not take advantage of the 2 hours free parking at Sainsbury's Pioneer Square - just follow the signs for Pioneer Square as you drive into Bicester and park in the multi-storey car park above the supermarket. Come down the travelators, exit Sainsbury's, turn right and follow the pedestrianised walkway to Crown Walk and turn right - and Coles will be right in front of you. You don't need to shop in Sainsbury's to get the free parking! Where to Find Us Despite this, she dislikes the selective grammar school system. “I benefitted enormously from the academic education I received as a result of the 11+” she tells me. “But the segregation into those who were expected to have high aspirations and those who were not was indefensible, especially when it varied so much from place to place and between boys and girls. Good comprehensive education ought to be the solution, but that is not easy to achieve.” Girton150 The Visitor's Lecture by the Rt Hon Baroness Hale of Richmond". Girton College. 2 May 2019. This article was amended on 2 October 2021 to clarify that the prorogation of parliament was ruled to be unlawful, contrary to what an earlier version had said.

The remainder of the book takes us through the various jobs and roles that Lady Hale has had during her career. Initially her involvement with the law was solely in academia. However - and sometimes to her surprise - she was gradually called to more and more challenging jobs directly and indirectly dealing with the laws of this country. Initially she spent time with the Law Commission reviewing and updating laws. After that she was a judge and increasingly senior ending with her time as President of the Supreme Court.

The Mail claimed, falsely, that she was against marriage. Mr Levy tried unsuccessfully to get Hale’s second husband’s first wife to say something unpleasant about her, and wrote that Hale was a feminist. He meant it as an insult, but Hale embraces it. In the end such speculation is rather silly, but Hale does not seem to mind the extra publicity it may have generated; just as she seems quite happy to have been called “the Beyoncé of the legal world” (by Legal Cheek). If it brings more readers, if it draws attention to the judgments, if it upsets a few stuffed shirts, well perhaps that’s all to the good. Inevitably the issue ended up in the Supreme Court, which upheld the divisional court ruling. Three years later, in 2019, the supreme court had an even more loaded case to decide, and by then Hale was its president. Beetle brooch, tattydevine.com.

Brenda Hale, Rt Hon the Baroness Hale of Richmond DBE, was born in Yorkshire and studied Law at Girton College, Cambridge. She was called to the Bar in 1969 and spent almost twenty years in academia whilst also practising as a barrister for a short time. She finished top of her year, catapulting her into a career as a barrister and then a judge, rising through the Family division – where decorum decreed she should dress plainly – and breaking glass ceilings to reach the Court of Appeal. Might she want to be political, now that she’s free? I should have anticipated that her answer would begin: “It depends what you mean by political.” She is quite clear that the law should be paramount however, within that, she manages to look at laws through her own perspective. The fact that she is a rare female in this respect gives her views a different angle to others involved in the law. One thing that is quite clear almost from the start of her story is that she is a feminist. Maybe not in a radical sense but it is a fundamental part of her character.

As 'a little girl from a little school in a little village in North Yorkshire', she only went into the law because her headteacher told her she wasn't clever enough to study history. She became the most senior judge in the country but it was an unconventional path to the top. I can express opinions to a much greater extent than was proper when I was a serving judge. But I’m also very conscious that I don’t want to make life difficult for my successors, who have a hard job to do, and that I don’t want to get involved in party political controversies, because I’m not a politician. I did not know the political affiliations of my colleagues on the supreme court and I think that’s a very good thing Lady Hale's impressive career shows her to be more than just a woman with an interesting taste in accessories - she was the youngest person to be appointed Law Commissioner, the second woman to be appointed to the Court of Appeal, a Law Lord, the first female Deputy President of the Supreme Court and then its first female President. It's a distinguished CV yet, somewhat surprisingly, Spider Woman starts off discussing Imposter Syndrome and from there goes on to chart Lady Hale's school days, role models and earliest experiences, and how they shaped her passion for the law. correspondent, Owen Bowcott Legal affairs; Quinn, Ben; Carrell, Severin (24 September 2019).
