Abstract: Some judges seem on a path to greatness from their early years. There often appears a direct route that leads from their early lives to their later triumphs. But there are others whose journey to greatness is more circuitous and unexpected. Their early years exhibit little that suggests that they will get the opportunity to achieve the ultimate standing that they come to occupy in society. They do not go looking for greatness. Nor is it reluctantly forced upon them. It is more the case that, simply by doing what they would normally do and being true to themselves, they stumble on greatness. Their particular talents only get a chance to be noticed and come to be appreciated when there is a propitious confluence of character and circumstance – cometh the hour and the place; cometh the woman.
