Face The Future: The Next 100 Years Photography Day

Members of the legal community in Northern Ireland are invited to #FaceTheFuture and have their pictures taken as part of a global photography project showcasing the diverse face of women in the law.

A photo shoot is being held on Friday 06 March as part of celebrations for International Women’s Day and will be hosted in the Inn of Court in the Royal Courts of Justice in Belfast, running concurrently with events in cities around the world, including London, Paris, Sydney and Washington D.C.

It is being run by Next 100 Years, the UK’s national campaign aiming to share the achievements of women in law and shape a more equal and diverse future for the profession.

Bar Chair Sarah Ramsey QC remarked: “I am delighted to invite members and colleagues from across the world of law to take part in this global event which will create a fantastic visual gallery of diversity in our profession. As we look to the next 100 years, we want to welcome women and male allies to #FaceTheFuture by having their picture captured - I look forward to seeing lots of our members, solicitor colleagues, trainees, students, women and men taking part!”

To be part of this project, just drop into the Inn of Court between 10am and 5pm on Friday 06 March. There is no need to book a slot – just show up. Directions to the Inn of Court can be found here.
