International Women's Day Special with The Hon Margaret McMurdo
Listen now
Description
The Hon Margaret McMurdo is a trailblazer. When her Honour finished law school, she was one of a handful of women at the Bar. In 1991, she went on to become the youngest person appointed to Queensland's District Court (and the first woman ever to sit on that Bench), before becoming the first (and still only) female President of Queensland's Court of Appeal in 1998. Since her Honour's retirement from the Bench, Justice McMurdo has continued to serve the community in many ways. On this very special episode of The Callover, in honour of International Women's Day, we have the privilege of speaking with Justice McMurdo about her incredible journey in the legal profession. Special thanks must go to Zoe Navarro, Ella Thomas, Rebecca Murray, Eve Anderson, Geoff McLeod, for their contributions to the production of this episode.
