Anne Hassan SC and Kevin Doyle have both been appointed as judged to the County Court in Victoria.
Ms Hassan is a senior counsel specialising in criminal law, who was admitted to legal practice in 2000 and signed the Victorian Bar roll in 2003. She has served as a Crown prosecutor for the state of Victoria and an associate to Justice Marilyn Warren, the Victorian Attorney-General’s Department noted in a statement.
“He has appeared primarily in the County and Supreme Courts in jury trials, pleas and appeals both as a barrister and as Crown prosecutor,” it said.
Ms Hassan will be replacing Judge Julie Condon, and Mr Doyle will be filling the role of soon-to-be Chief Magistrate Lisa Hannan, with both appointments taking place from last week.
“I am grateful for the tireless service of Judge [Marilyn] Harbison and Chief Magistrate Hannan to the County Court – and I wish Chief Magistrate Hannan all the best as she takes on a new role at the Magistrates’ Court,” Attorney-General Jill Hennessy said.
“Both Ms Hassan and Mr Doyle have extensive experience across a range of criminal matters, and I am confident they will make welcome additions to the County Court.”
