Lawyer Monthly - Women In Law Special Edition

LAWYER MONTHLY WOMEN IN LAW EDITION 104 WHY PICK CRIMINAL LAW? Aleksandra Kowalik is a busy lady. Yet from juggling her own firm, being a bilateral lawyer and tackling tough criminal cases, she finds the time to let off some steam in probably one of the most ‘badass’ ways possible: mixed martial arts. Who would want to get on the wrong side of Aleksandra?! Her list of credentials does not mean she is as intimidating as she sounds; friendly and inviting, it is bewildering to how Aleksandra remains cool when you think about the sheer pressure she works in. Speaking to her for our Women in Law Edition, we address why criminal law is dominated by men and why she chose to conquer it.
