Join us for a drinks and nibbles to welcome The Honourable Justice Di Simpson.
The ACT legal community is warmly invited to attend a special event to welcome The Honourable Justice Di Simpson.
Justice Simpson was appointed to the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (Division 1) and commenced her judicial role at the Sydney registry on 3 February 2025, bringing with her over three decades of distinguished service in family law.
Prior to her appointment Justice Simpson served on the ACT Law Society’s Family Law Committee, including as Chair. Justice Simpson was also Chair of the Family Law Section of the Law Council of Australia from 2021 to 2024, having previously held roles as Deputy Chair and Executive Member. In recognition of her outstanding service, she received the Law Council of Australia’s President Award in 2023.
The ACT Law Society is proud to host this event at our new purpose-built Society office, and to welcome Justice Simpson who is sitting in Canberra from 25 August 2025. This event presents a valuable opportunity for the profession to engage with a well-respected and well-connected colleague, to welcome her in person, and to continue building a collegiate and collaborative professional community.
