The Great Hall, Lincoln's Inn

Join us on Tuesday 10 June for the Inn’s annual Diversity Dinner. This year we will be celebrating Empowering Women in the Law:  a Celebration of Inclusivity and Allyship.

We are delighted to be joined by guest speaker The Rt Hon. the Baroness Scotland of Asthal KC. Baroness Scotland was the first black woman and youngest woman to take silk in 1991, before joining the House of Lords in 1997 as Baroness Scotland of Asthal and undertaking major reform of the criminal justice system, including the introduction of the Domestic Violence Crime and Victims Act. She served as HM Attorney General from July 2007 to May 2010, and served as Secretary-General of the Commonwealth of Nations from 2016 to 2025, the first woman to hold both positions.

The evening will include musical entertainment, during the reception and an after dinner performance, from Pokkisham, and her all-female jazz band. The drinks reception will also feature an exhibition of prominent women members of the Inn and allies who have furthered the cause of women’s rights in the law.

The event will spotlight the talent of the Inn’s female chefs who have created a delicious three course menu for the occasion.
