Episode 13 - Lady Brenda Hale

Challenger: Lady Brenda Hale grew up in a small village in North Yorkshire and became the highest ranking judge in the UK.  Her life is a series of "firsts", even though she was not always everyone else's first choice.  She kept her resolve to progress and never took any of her success for granted. Despite her achievements at being first, she knows it's her moral duty not to be the last.  She has always encouraged others to succeed and in both her career and in life she has acted with fairness and integrity in words and deed.
