High Court judges deal with the most serious and complicated trials in England and Wales.
Many of Lambert's recent cases have involved grave crimes, of the sort that society considers unthinkable.
In 2024, she was one of three senior judges appointed to consider the appeal of Lucy Letby, the nurse convicted of the murder of seven babies.
Even at the start of the trial, there was talk of a prison sentence if the two men were found guilty.
The atmosphere in the courtroom was notably strange, both entirely serious and entirely ridiculous.
On the press bench, reporters murmured to one another that it felt a bit like a murder trial.
It didn't, though.
Not exactly.
Nobody was dead.
There were no grieving family members.
I couldn't seem to keep a handle on what was at stake, what law the two men had actually broken.
Between sessions, I kept having to look up the legal definition of murder to check one more time whether the term could be applied to anything other than the killing of a human being.
It cannot.
At other times, people in the public gallery would burst into laughter to judge Lambert's immense and theatrical disapproval.
She had a way of peering over her spectacles.
Officially, the jury was being presented with the straightforward question of criminal damage.
Were Adam Carruthers and Daniel Graham responsible for cutting down a sycamore by Hadrian's Wall on the night of September 27th, 2023?
Unfortunately for the defendants, this turned out to be exceptionally easy to answer.
To begin with, there was CCTV footage of the Range Rover driving to and from the parking lot near the tree.
Graham's phone was tracked traveling to and from the site.
