Early life and education [ edit ]
Judd attended Croydon Secondary College , a public high school from which no student had previously been accepted to study law. When Judd told a careers teacher she wanted to become a lawyer, she was told not to waste her time.[1] She studied at the University of Melbourne , graduating with a Bachelor of Laws in 1987 and a Master of Laws in 1995.[2]
Judd was admitted to practice in law 1989 and worked as a judge's associate for Supreme Court judges Ian Gray and William Crockett, before joining the bar in 1991.[2] [3] She managed a legal office for indigenous people in Alice Springs in the 1990s.[4] [3]
Judd was appointed Senior Counsel in November 2007 and Senior Crown Prosecutor in 2016.[2] Judd represented Victoria at the Royal Commission into the Black Saturday bushfires and the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse .[4] [5] She appeared in the case of Akon Guode, a mother who drove her four children into a lake, as well as the rape and murder of Bega schoolgirls Lauren Barry and Nichole Collins.[1] [6] From December 2017, she was acting Chief Crown Prosecutor .[5]
In March 2018, it was announced that Judd would become Victoria's next Director of Public Prosecutions after John Champion was appointed to the Supreme Court .[4] The DPP is the head of the state's public prosecutions service, responsible for prosecuting indictable offences .[1] She is the first woman to be appointed to the role.[4] [7] On her appointment, she said "I would love to think that we’re getting to a point in time where appointing a woman to something like this is unremarkable, but I recognise that it is remarkable at the moment. So, I am very proud and I hope that I will be a role model."[1]
In November 2018, Judd prosecuted Melbourne car rampage accused Dimitrious Gargasoulas .[8] In 2019, she prosecuted George Pell for historic child sex offences. After a nationwide suppression order was imposed during the case, Judd charged over sixty journalists, publishers and broadcasters, including the Herald Sun , The Age , News Corp , Nine Network and the ABC with contempt of court .[9] Most of the charges were later dropped.[10] [11] In March 2020, Judd represented the state in Pell's successful appeal to the High Court against his conviction.[12] [13]
