Patricia Matthews and Mark Pedley have been appointed as judicial registrars in the Supreme Court of Victoria this week.
She previously worked as a special counsel for King & Wood Mallesons in litigation and dispute resolution. Ms Matthews’ expertise also spans personal injuries, negligence and wrongful death claims.
Mr Pedley will be responsible for establishing a specialist criminal division registry. The new judicial registrar will also support the functions of the principal judge of the criminal division on management and listing matters.
Mr Pedley has had a varied career, most recently working as the Commonwealth Solicitor for Public Prosecutions.
He is a former judicial registrar of the Victorian Court of Appeal, where he led a major restructure and the implementation of reforms for the management and hearing of criminal appeals.
