Video: Gningala Yarran-Clanton
by WiL Admin — last modified 03 July 2006, 04.21PM - Gningala Yarran-Clanton spent her first five years on an Aboriginal reserve, one of six children of her miner father and nurse mother. She completed year 11 schooling before going to business college, marrying at 19, and producing five daughters in five years. With her youngest child about to start school, Gningala re-examined an early ambition of hers to study law, and was initially accepted into a pre-law program at The University of Western Australia. She went on to complete her bachelor of laws in 2002 as a mature aged student, subsequently accepting a position as part of a Federal Court program. This led to her appointment as Western Australia’s first Aboriginal judges’ associate - in her instance with Justice Robert French. The remainder of Gningala’s articles were spent in the office of the director of public prosecutions, Robert Cock, where she achieved another first - becoming the first Aboriginal graduate to complete articles with the WA DPP’s office. Gningala was admitted as a solicitor/ barrister in the Supreme Court of Western Australia in May 2004, and has continued to work at the DPP’s office until recently, where she had risen to become the first Aboriginal state prosecutor in Western Australia.
