Rhoda Billings

Rhoda Bryan Billings is an American lawyer and a former justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court. Billings earned her law degree from Wake Forest University in 1966. She served four years as a state District Court judge (1968-1972).

Governor James G. Martin, a fellow Republican, appointed her to the North Carolina Supreme Court as an Associate Justice in 1985, and appointed her Chief Justice in 1986 (the second woman to head the Court). She was not elected Chief Justice by the voters in November of that year.

Justice Billings has been a full law professor at Wake Forest University since 1977, and today is titled Professor Emeritus.
