Johanna Clementina Hudig
Dutch judge (1907-1996)
Johanna Clementina Hudig, (Groningen, 27 March 1907 - Amersfoort, 29 July 1996) was the first female judge in the Netherlands. From 1947 to 1977, she was a juvenile judge attached to the District Court of Rotterdam. From 1957 to 1972, she was attached to the University of Utrecht as extraordinary professor of children's rights and child protection.
Education and career
Hudig was born to Joost Hudig (1880-1967), an agricultural consultant and professor, and Sophia Alida Hudig (1880-1924). She was a granddaughter of Jan Hudig and a niece of Ferrand Whaley Hudig (1883-1937). Han Hudig remained unmarried.
Hudig attended the all-girls' HBS (higher general secondary school) in Groningen. Since this program did not provide access to university, she subsequently took the state exams at the gymnasium (higher general secondary education). Hudig studied law in Utrecht, earning her Master of Laws degree in 1934. After graduating, she took an unpaid position at the Criminological Institute, which had just been founded by W.P.J. Pompe.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Johanna Clementina Hudig” as dutch judge (1907-1996). Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as dutch judge (1907-1996). Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 10, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2467960. VIAF identifies the subject as 29348217. The Library of Congress control number is no2008097622. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1907, 1996, 1947 and 1977.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
