Judith was admitted to Practice in 1998. She holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree and a Bachelor of Laws from the University of Adelaide and a Graduate Certificate in Legal Practice from the University of South Australia.
Judith worked in the retail sector for Coles Myer in South Australia and Sydney as well as in her family’s import and sales business before returning to study. Judith also actively participated in local council and state politics when residing in Redfern, Sydney acting as a community spokesperson for local residents during a turbulent period of that suburbs community life in the mid to late 1980’s. In addition, Judith worked on the campaign to elect Frank Sartor as an Independent to the seat of McKell as both a policy writer and media spokesperson. Frank later went on to become Lord Mayor of Sydney and Judith again was an active member of his campaign team. Judith’s interest in politics and social justice issues continues.
Upon entering the legal profession Judith commenced work as a solicitor in the Advice Section of the Legal Services Commission of South Australia providing legal assistance to the general public in a wide variety of legal issues.
In 1999 Judith moved to the Criminal Law Section of the Commission and worked as a Duty Solicitor in the Adelaide, Port Adelaide and Holden Hill Magistrate’s courts where she dealt with a variety of predominantly criminal law issues in a dynamic environment.
In 2000, Judith practised at White Berman in their Adelaide and Modbury offices. She freely provided her time to the [then] Norwood Community Legal and the Women’s Legal Service telephone advice line. Judith continued to act in criminal matters but broadened her practice to include wills and estates, civil, personal injury, defacto property and Family Law.
