Marie Baker
Ms Justice Marie Baker is a recently retired Supreme Court judge in Ireland, known for her pioneering role in the legal profession, particularly for women. Reflecting on her career that began in the 1980s, she highlights the significant progress made in gender representation within the legal field, yet she remains critical of the ongoing inequalities, particularly in senior positions. Baker’s insights reveal the challenges women still face in a profession historically dominated by men.
