Speaker

A barrister who began in science, Judith Fordham brings real courtroom and crime-lab stories to an after-dinner talk or a school hall. She built her own law firm, which won a Telstra Business Award, and was an Associate Professor at UWA's Centre for Forensic Science, teaching law to scientists and forensics to police and lawyers. The WA Attorney General asked for her study of what jurors go through. Judith is also a life member of angelhands, a group supporting people bereaved by homicide, and an Australia Day Ambassador. Media outlets call on her often, she has written a book of strange crime stories, and she talks about CSI on cruise ships. Topics include resilience, bullying and women's rights. Perth-based, she travels nationwide.
