Hilda Brunnemeyer (8 August 1937 - 2 December 2017) was a Brunanter judge and President of the Supreme Court.
Biography[]
Brunnemeyer was born in Charleston Beach, Koningstad to a wealthy family of Swedish descent. They sent her to Harvard University to study law (1956-1960) and did her masters in Germany. In 1966, she joined a private law company where she quickly became one of the firm's best lawyers.
Moving up to management, she became very wealthy and took over the firm in 1982. In 1984, however, she became a Supreme Court justice and in 1997, Brunnemeyer was appointed President of the Supreme Court by Marta Henneman. She was involved in the controversial Brunant v. TobacCorp case in 2001; the largest court case in Brunanter history. Brunnemeyer was found to have accepted bribes from many cigarette companies to make a ruling in their favor. When this was found out, she was immediately replaced with a temporary president, Albert Wilson, and after the court decision, a less high-profile hearing sentenced her to jail for five years. She later appealed and got three and a half years.
Personal life[]
Brunnemeyer married multimillionaire and later BBN executive William Smarts in 1967 and they had four children.
She died in 2017 of Alzheimer's disease in the Sint-Francis Hospital Centre in Roodstad, at the age of 80.
