generally) this year.
The First 100 Years Project have been recording biographical films of pioneering women and
have an exhibition touring the country that follows a timeline and a podcast series, among other
projects.
As part of their celebrations this year, First 100 Years Project
are working towards photographing the face of women in the law today.
They are inviting as many women in the law in Northern Ireland
to be part of the new national campaign.

their headshots for their own LinkedIn.
No pre-registration/appointment required, just come along to the
Law Society House on Friday 8th March 2019 at a time convenient for you. You must sign in at the security desk.
