Justice Gordons dedicated work ethic and commitment to advancing legal — Michelle Gordon

"Be yourself. You are who you are, and you have much to give in whatever you are doing."

"After just a few years, I commenced to teach the course, and still do, with Simon Steward QC and Ms Lisa Hespe."

"It has been fascinating creating and teaching a new course. I learn far more than I teach… Teaching has its own challenges. Trying to pass on to others the knowledge, skills, and techniques necessary to an understanding of a particular area of the law is itself an education. And there is always the pleasure when you see that a student understands the point you are trying to make."

"Justice Gordon is keen to embrace the challenges of working as a High Court Judge, following her recent appointment."

"Hard work and application remain as important as they have always been. I have enjoyed my time as a practising lawyer, barrister, teacher, and judge. In the end, it is dealing and interacting with others —clients, junior barristers at the bar, participants in the Indigenous lawyers program, my associates, and my students — from whom I have learned and benefitted that has been the most rewarding. You always learn more from those you interact with."

"Justice Gordon is just the fifth woman appointed to the Court in its 112-year history, joining The Hon. Susan Mary Kiefel AC and The Hon. Virginia Bell, making a total of three women on the High Court bench."
