Early life and education

Bergin was born in Sydney, NSW, the daughter of Olga and Denis Bergin, and went to school at Sacré Cœur, Kincoppal.[1] Bergin attended Sydney Teachers College, and was appointed as a teacher on probation on 4 February 1969,[1] working as a teacher for five years before studying law at Macquarie University, graduating in 1981. While studying law Bergin was Associate to District Court Judge Peter Ayton Leslie and then Judge Desmond Ward QC and at Pritchards Law Firm.[1]

Career

Bergin worked as a solicitor at Stephen Jaques & Stephen from 1981 until she became a barrister in 1984, with Tom Bathurst as her tutor. Bergin represented the National Crime Authority during the coronial inquiry into the murder of Colin Winchester.[2] Bergin was also appointed counsel assisting the Wood Royal Commission.[3] Bergin was made a Senior Counsel in 1998.[4]

In 2015 Bergin was appointed an International Judge of the Singapore International Commercial Court,[5]

After retiring from the Supreme Court was appointed to conduct an inquiry into NSW branch of the Returned and Services League of Australia.[6]

Supreme Court of NSW

Bergin was appointed a judge of the NSW Supreme Court on 1 March 1999. From 2004 Bergin was the list judge for the Commercial List and the Technology and Construction List. Bergin replaced Peter Young as Chief Judge in Equity on 6 March 2009. In 2009 Bergin described Hooters as being "casual beach-theme restaurants",[7] with Justinian questioning whether her Honour had "accurately captured the theme of this charming chain of wholesome eateries".[8]

Honours

In 2013 Bergin was given an honorary Doctor of Laws by Macquarie University, for her work as an outstanding legal practitioner and her contribution to the legal fraternity.
