Jayne Jagot

"Justice Jagot is an eminent jurist and brings tremendous experience, and was nominated by very, very many people that I consulted with."

"The government is very proud of the appointment that we are making today… and I am certain that she is going to serve with distinction."

"Jagot will be the seventh woman appointed to the court, replacing Patrick Keane once he reaches mandatory retirement age."

"In a statement, Dreyfus and the Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, described Jagot as an 'outstanding lawyer and an eminent judge,' congratulating her on a 'well-deserved appointment.'"

"In her four years at the bar, Justice Jagot maintained an enviable practice, acting on behalf of a number of Commonwealth and state departments and authorities in her various areas of expertise, and she quickly secured a reputation as the Land and Environment Court’s leading junior."

"The Solicitor General, Stephen Gageler SC, said at her Federal Court swearing-in that during her time on the Land and Environment Court, Justice Jagot developed 'a reputation as a judge who has an ideal judicial demeanour, is clear-thinking and practical, and listens carefully and politely to arguments put forward.'"
