Louise Baker completed her PhD in Informatics, as a student of the College of Law at The Australian National University, Canberra. Louise’s thesis utilised computation to analyse the networks of a select group of trailblazing women lawyers (those who have achieved ‘a first’ in the law), from several jurisdictions around Australia, with a focus on members of the judiciary. The query ‘shortest path’ (graph database Neo4j) revealed three key nodes central to this lawyering network: Single-Sex Education, Mentor/Mentoring and membership or involvement in a professional association, in this case, the Australian Women Lawyers Association (WLA).
