Judge McGruder
Judge Hilda Margaret McGruder was head of the SJS before being made Chief Judge following the Apocalypse War, and later taking the long walk into the Cursed Earth following the disastrous Warlord incursion into Mega-City One that caused the death of Judge Omar, then head of Psi-Division.
During Necropolis, she returned to the city with Dredd and became Chief Judge for a second term, facing difficulties around her promotion of the nascent Mechanismo program. She was succeeded by Judge Hadrian Volt.
