Wise counsel: Her advice to the men

Don’t behave like you’re on a stag do

Don’t make repetitive jokes about breasts or skirts

Don’t communicate solely in innuendo

If you’re a male in a maleheavy case, don’t ask the female counsel to fetch the coffee/pour your water. Try to remember their names

‘You’re worse than my wife’ is not an acceptable way to [end] a debate about complex legal provisions

No, I don’t want to organise the case dinner

Be kind. If you see someone [being given a rough time] don’t tolerate it

If you’re a senior female member of the bar or judge, encourage those behind you

Abolish 9.30am listings. This helps with childcare and the care of elderly relatives – and applies to men too
