Congratulations to Professor Nicola Lacey, who has been recognised in the New Year's Honours List, receiving a CBE for her services to Law, Justice and Gender Politics. Professor Lacey comments:

"I feel hugely fortunate to have been honoured in this way, and it gives me particular delight that justice and gender politics were mentioned in the citation.

There is, of course, a huge element of luck in any such award. But I hope that the fact that three feminist and socio-legal scholars were recognised in this year’s list – Carol Smart and Sally Wheeler were the others – will encourage diversity in legal scholarship and education, reflecting values long cherished by the Law Department at ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳.

Most of all, I feel deeply grateful to ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳, and to the Law Department in particular, as well as to the Mannheim Centre and the Gender Institute, for giving me such a wonderful intellectual home - a peerless space for dialogue and friendship - for the best part of my career."
