Karin Emerton

Karin Emerton is a trials division justice at the Supreme Court of Victoria. She is a graduate of the University of Sydney and University of New South Wales in Australia, and received her doctoral degree from the Sorbonne.
Emerton was appointed Senior Counsel in November 2007, so her elevation to the Supreme Court in 2009 was unusually swift. A portrait of Dr Emerton, Woman and pipe, by Merilyn Fairskye was a finalist for the 1987 Archibald Prize
