Known for her humility and dedication, Manning inspired many, particularly women in law, and is remembered fondly by colleagues and family alike.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"ap-article-header-tag\"> <strong>Africa-Press &#8211; Tanzania. <\/strong> <\/span>AS the nation prepares to lay retired High Court Judge Julie Catherine Manning to rest next week, tributes have continued to pour in, describing her as a woman of integrity, humility and quiet strength.<\/p>\n<p>Judge Manning, who died on Friday while receiving treatment in Dar es Salaam, is being remembered by colleagues, friends and family as a trailblazer whose life inspired many within and beyond the legal profession.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking in a telephone interview with the Sunday News yesterday, her former classmate Mr Arnold Kilewo said she was among the most brilliant individuals of her time, with exceptional integrity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJudge Manning and I were among the first 14 students at the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM) and she was the only woman in our class. She was an outstanding student, brilliant and with high integrity,\u201d said Mr Kilewo.<\/p>\n<p>He added that her professionalism and dedication saw her rise through the judiciary to become the country\u2019s first female High Court judge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJudge Manning was very trustworthy and was selected because of her professionalism. At that time, many of us pursued different career paths after graduation, but she joined the judiciary and her experience there led to her appointment as a judge,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Kilewo said that while she was initially the only female law student in their class, her success helped pave the way for more women to join the profession.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on her contribution to the legal fraternity, Professor Emeritus of Law at the University of Dar es Salaam, Prof Chris Maina, described Judge Manning as deeply committed to her work and remarkably humble.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring her time as a judge, she lived a simple life. She used to walk from her home to the office instead of using a car or having a driver because she lived near the High Court,\u201d said Prof Maina.<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cshe was a very gentle woman and we admired her humility. Despite being highly educated, she lived a modest life, which inspired many of us. She showed that one can study law and still remain simple and humble.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Prof Maina said she was dedicated, non-controversial and attentive when listening to others.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we continued with our studies, we looked up to her with admiration and for female students, she was an even greater inspiration,\u201d he said. Family spokesperson Mr Pascal Kasele said Judge Manning was a calm, thoughtful and loving person.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe is survived by two daughters and four grandchildren. Throughout her life, she was full of love, very gentle and never discriminated against anyone,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Judge Julie Catherine Manning was a pioneering figure in Tanzania&#8217;s judiciary, becoming the first female High Court judge in a male-dominated field. Her journey began at the University of Dar es Salaam, where she was one of the first female law students, paving the way for future generations of women in law. Manning&#8217;s commitment to justice and integrity set a standard in the legal community, making her a respected role model for many aspiring lawyers in Tanzania and beyond. Her legacy continues to inspire those who strive for equality and excellence in the legal profession.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ap-article-footer-note\">Find more news and analyses on <span class=\"ap-highlight-country\">Tanzania<\/span> on the <span class=\"ap-highlight-brand\">Africa Press<\/span> website<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What You Need to Know As Tanzania mourns the loss of retired High Court Judge Julie Catherine Manning, tributes highlight her integrity and trailblazing role in the legal profession.
