Lady Hale addressed the issue as she marked the centenary of the act that enabled women to enter profession.

The first female president of the supreme court called for the judiciary to increase its diversity to avoid the risk of being seen as 'from another planet'.

This would include greater balance in gender representation at Britain's highest court and quicker promoting for ethnic minorities and those from less privileged backgrounds, the Guardian reports.

There are currently three female justices on the 12-judge court, but Lady Hale says an 'ideal balance' of gender would be 'at least 60/40 either way'.

She believes that it is important for the public to be able to to 'look at the judges and say "they are our judges". Lady Hale says diversity would bring different perspectives to discussions.
