The Society of Advocates is pleased to congratulate one of its members, Beatrix De Jager, on her appointment on 26 June 2024, as a Permanent Judge of the High Court of Namibia. This prestigious appointment is a testament to her sharp legal acumen, commitment to justice, and contribution to the legal profession.
Judge De Jager joined the Society of Advocates after completing her pupillage during August 2009. She practiced as a member of the Society of Advocates for 14 years before her appointment on 16 January 2024 as an Acting Judge of the High Court, and thereafter as a Permanent Judge of the High Court.
During her time as a member of the Society of Advocates, she has made significant contributions to the Society of Advocates by mentoring pupils in the pupillage programme, and served on the Bar Council as a member for several years including as Vice President during 2020 and 2021.
The Society of Advocates takes great pride in Judge De Jager's elevation to the bench and extends its warmest congratulations on this well-deserved honor.
We wish her every success in this new chapter of her career as a Permanent Judge of the High Court of Namibia.
