Judith will entertain, inspire or confront any audience. Alternatively she can just have them “rolling in the aisles” with tales from 30 years of crazy experiences in the practice of criminal law; she is entertaining, motivational and (if you ask her nicely) downright hilarious! She is a first class speaker whose entertaining and informative presentations will inspire and motivate any audience.
Judith is a regular speaker on upmarket cruise ships such as Queen Elizabeth, Queen Mary 2, and the Crystal Symphony and Harmony, where she attracts standing room only crowds of over 600 passengers at each of her seven presentations.
Judith offers a range of fascinating, entertaining presentations including:
Life, Law & Not Enough Shoes: Adventures of a lady lawyer in the world of crime. Stories of wild characters and crazy experiences from 25 years of criminal law practice told by one of the world’s greatest appreciators of shoes as works of art, Judith Fordham.
From Zero to Hero. Lawyer, forensic scientist, mentor, domestic violence survivor: the inspirational story of Judith’s path from despair to success (whatever that is). (This presentation can be “tweaked” to focus on education or community volunteering/engagement).
Behind Closed Doors: Secrets of the Jury Room. As one of the few people in the world who has had the chance to talk to hundreds of real jurors after real criminal trials, Judith offers insights about the CSI effect, what jurors love and hate about lawyers, how trials go off the rails, what happens when a bully is the foreman, and the result of jurors using a Quija Board to contact the victim in a murder trial.
The Real CSI: Truth is stranger than fiction. How science trumps even the smartest criminal. This selection of real life forensic cases gives you an insight into how scientists, lawyers and police think, and what happens when these worlds collide in criminal investigation and prosecution.
Guilty or Not? Join barrister and forensic expert Judith Fordham as she relives the trial of a father accused of killing his infant son. Whose side are you on? How do you feel? While this presentation is not graphic, it may be emotionally confronting.
Happy Families: Everyone was happy when grandma came to visit. That is, until her granddaughter accused her grandson of a terrible crime. What really happened? The answers were in the DNA, but would anyone realise?
Scared to Death? When Bob hosted a loud party, he did not expect to be charged with murder. The worst crime he thought he had committed was being rude to a neighbour. But 20 minutes later, the neighbour was dead. Who killed him?
Could You be a Criminal? Are criminals born or made? Would you, could you, commit a crime? The answers will surprise you. Promise.
