Robin E. Hudson

Robin Elizabeth Hudson (born February 20, 1952) is an American jurist who served as an associate justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court.

Born in DeKalb County, Georgia, after studying philosophy and psychology at Yale University, Hudson earned a J.D.

Except for three years as a state appellate defender, Hudson worked in private practice in Raleigh and Durham, North Carolina until 2000, when she was elected to the North Carolina Court of Appeals—the first woman to be elected to an appellate court in North Carolina without being appointed first.

Hudson was elected to the North Carolina Supreme Court seat of retiring Justice George Wainwright in November 2006.

[3] Hudson wrote the Supreme Court's 2022 opinion striking down the state legislature's congressional and legislative districts as excessively partisan gerrymanders.
