Subject: Mary Gaudron, first woman judge on the High Court of Australia - 1943-2026

 

I thought it important to note the sad passing of Mary Gaudron, the first woman judge on the High Court of Australia, and another member of the Mason High Court.

She always thought outside the box and was a role model to many young Australian lawyers.
