Who is Naomi Matanitobua?

Naomi Matanitobua is a Fijian judge, who took office as Fiji's Chief Magistrate on 14 December 2005, succeeding David Balram. Her term of appointment is for three years.

Matanitobua's first application for the position, in 2002, was not successful. She was determined to dispel the impression, she said, that women cannot occupy senior judicial offices.

Her legal career began as a temporary relieving court clerk in 1980. By 1999, she had become a resident magistrate.
