Inspirational Women: Judge Barbara Mensah.....

Her Honour Judge Barbara Mensah sits as a circuit judge at Luton Crown Court, and is the very opposite of that cliché, the Oxbridge-educated old buffer. Born in Ghana, she was sent to school in England aged six. She studied philosophy at the University of Wales in Swansea before training to be a barrister. Even her career has been unusual, with a period spent working in the private sector.
