Ellen Gracie Northfleet (Portuguese: [ˈɛlẽj ˈɡɾejsi nɔʁtʃˈflitʃ]; born 16 February 1948) is a Brazilian judge. She is the first woman to be appointed to the Supreme Court of Brazil[3] and the Court's first female president.
On 8 August 2011, she retired from the Court, 7 years before the full extension that would go until 70 years old.[4]
There was no formal announcement of her decision to retire and no formal ceremony at her departure.[5][6][7]
After her departure the Brazilian Association of Federal Judges published a public statement requesting that a representative of the Federal Magistrature be appointed for her position. Ellen Gracie was not a career magistrate since she did not write the exams to become a Federal Judge, as is the case for members of the Federal Magistrature. She was nominated for the position by then Brazilian president Fernando Henrique Cardoso.[8]
