Carrick Hume Buck (July 5, 1900 – October 18, 1959) was the first woman to be appointed a judge in Hawaii.
While in court, she watched Earl Rogers' defense, and was inspired to study law.
She became the assistant U.S. District Attorney for the Territory of Hawaii in 1925, and led raids on illegal okolehao stills.
She lost, and chose not to run again, but remained an active member of the Democratic Party of Hawaii.
