What this episode covers
"I've practiced the law, I've practically perfected it. I've seen injustice in the world and I've corrected it." Words from the musical 'Hamilton', but they could well be used to describe our guest today, Stephanie Boyce – someone who has spoken about the strong sense of justice that inspired her to study law. Stephanie is the Vice President of The Law Society of England & Wales and in October 2021, is set to become its President – only the sixth woman and the first black person, or indeed first person from any ethnic minority background, to hold the post in its almost 200 year history. Her family say they came to the UK from the Caribbean in search of faith, hope and opportunity, and in this episode Stephanie talks about how they inspired her, her experiences growing up in both the US and the UK, and the perseverance that has taken her to the very top of her profession.
