Wendy Lindley. Wendy Lindley is a Superior Court Judge in Orange County, California.
Inspired by Life Magazine pictures of third world children in need of medical attention, Wendy initially had her sights set on becoming a physician and working in Africa, but she struggled with math so she settled on a degree in occupational therapy. A few years into her career — and through a complete twist of fate — Wendy made a career 180, went to law school and became a judge. Blending her healing arts experience with her knowledge of the law Wendy has brought a unique and caring perspective to the criminal courtroom.
For the past 19 years she has collaborated with criminal justice agencies and treatment professionals to help the non-violent offenders that come to her courtroom to take back their lives so that they can be healthy and productive members of their communities. Master Calendar - Event Details - Guest Speaker: Judge Wendy Lindley. Wendy S.
Lindley has been a Superior Court Judge in Orange County since 1998, after serving four years on the Municipal Court. Judge Lindley created and has presided over many of the Orange County Collaborative Courts, which feature a unique, multi-agency approach to the sentencing and rehabilitation of non-violent offenders. She currently presides over the Adult Drug Court, the Criminal Mental Health Court, the Driving Under the Influence Court, the Combat Veterans Court and the Homeless Outreach Court. Lindley came up with the multi-agency approach after coming to the realization that early intervention is particularly important with substance abusers, the mentally ill and indigents.
