The Andrews government in The Garden State has appointed five new judicial officers for the Magistrate’s Court.
Vicky Papas (former legal practice manager at the Office of Public Prosecutions), Olivia Trumble and Nahrain Warda (both barristers specialising in criminal law), Kieran Gilligan (former Crown prosecutor), and Stephen Lee (former assistant Victorian government solicitor) were all announced by the state government.
The fifth appointment replaces Magistrate Bruce Cottrill, who retired in June after almost 20 years on the bench.
“The appointments bring expertise across a wide range of legal fields to the Magistrate’s Court, and I look forward to their service over the coming years,” Mr Pakula said.
“I would like to thank Magistrate Bruce Cottrill for his contribution to Victoria’s justice system over almost two decades of service.”
Jerome Doraisamy is the managing editor of professional services (including Lawyers Weekly, HR Leader, Accountants Daily, and Accounting Times). He is also the author of The Wellness Doctrines book series, an admitted solicitor in New South Wales, and a board director of the Minds Count Foundation.
