A founding member of Doughty Street Chambers, Baroness Kennedy is one of the country’s most distinguished lawyers and accomplished legal and social reformers. Born and brought up in Glasgow, she is a member of the Bar, a King’s Counsel, a Bencher of Gray’s Inn, an Honorary Writer to the Signet, and the recipient of 42 Honorary Degrees and Fellowships from many universities (including those of St Andrews, Glasgow, London and Edinburgh) in recognition of her groundbreaking work on women and the law, and on widening participation in higher education. She has also been honoured by the Governments of France and Italy for her considerable work on women’s rights and education. She was created a life peer in 1997 and has been a strong advocate for social justice and the rule of law in the House of Lords. In March 2024, Baroness Kennedy was appointed to The Order of the Thistle, the greatest order of chivalry in Scotland, in recognition of the importance of her public service, and pioneering work in advancing human rights and social justice, both domestically and internationally.
