Retired Court of Appeal Judge, Hon. Justice Chinwe Eugenia Iyizoba, is set to headline a major global webinar under the Women in Leadership in Law (WILIL) project.
The event, organised by the National Association of Women Judges of Nigeria (NAWJN) in partnership with the International Association of Women Judges (IAWJ), focuses on strengthening women’s leadership and inclusion in the justice system.
Justice Iyizoba, the Judicial Coordinator of the WILIL Project, extended an open invitation to members of the Nigerian Bar Association Women Forum, FIDA, the African Women Lawyers Association, the Magistrates Association of Nigeria (Women Wing), law teachers, and law officers across the public sector.
The webinar, themed “Enhancing Work-Life Balance and Accessibility in Court Settings,” aims to help women in the legal profession effectively balance family life and career demands.
It will also spotlight key issues such as gender-supportive court policies, career satisfaction, and accessibility in judicial spaces.
The WILIL Project, a multi-year collaboration between IAWJ and Co-Impact, seeks to enable entry, retention, and leadership advancement for women in the judiciary, especially in the Global South.
The initiative is currently being piloted in five countries: Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Mexico, and the Philippines.
Justice Iyizoba, renowned for her distinguished career and commitment to gender equality, retired from the Nigerian Court of Appeal in 2020.
A former Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice in Anambra State, she previously taught law at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN).
She has also served as Regional Vice President (Africa) of the International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA) and chaired the Judges Forum of the International Bar Association.
Throughout her career, Justice Iyizoba has embodied excellence, balancing judicial service with family life and inspiring generations of women in law.
Her leadership in the WILIL project reinforces her legacy as a champion for gender equity, professional advancement, and sustainable leadership in the judiciary.
