WiCCD is grateful to be included in the LSO’s annual International Women’s Day Celebration.
Update now that it’s over!
Our Treasurer – Cassandra DeMelo did a wonderful job of explaining the challenges we face as women in criminal defence and making the profession aware of WiCCD and our services. Hooray Cass!!
