Congratulations Your Lordship and Ladyship

asd I must admit some degree of conflict here because she is my former boss. That, however, does not subtract from the historical and substantive significance of her appointment. Perhaps we need more women at the High Court. It is time we have more gender justice. I do not want my 12-year-old daughter’s gender to stand on the way of her dreams. Judge Dambe’s appointment, like the handful others before, supplies the confidence the girl child needs to know that she is not, by reason of her gender, a second class citizen.

But I am not very happy yet. Trust me, we can do with more women judges. Legal practice is boring enough without one having to look at grumpy men and saying, “My Lord”. “My Lady” sounds better than the servitudinal title bestowed upon our superiors in Santa Claus outfits.
