As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
In 2022, Judge Hutson was elected with great enthusiasm as the esteemed judge for the Montgomery County Court at Law No. 4 in Texas. Since being sworn in in 2023, her responsibilities have included managing criminal cases from the initial probable cause stage to setting the bond and guiding the case through pre-trial, trial setting and post-trial proceedings. In every case Judge Hutson presides over, she remains dedicated to upholding justice and fairness.
Prior to her current appointment, Judge Hutson enjoyed a distinguished career as a prosecutor, focusing on cases related to family violence and domestic abuse. Since graduating from Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University in 2008 with a Juris Doctor, she has tirelessly worked within the criminal justice system, serving victims of violent crimes. As a young attorney, she exhibited exceptional leadership by establishing the first specialized domestic violence division within the District Attorney's Office of her county.
Judge Hutson's groundbreaking efforts included implementing best practices and law enforcement policies for investigations and providing comprehensive training to others in these essential techniques. Moreover, her commitment to addressing complex issues within the justice system is further exemplified by her involvement in the Mental Health Treatment Court.

Coupled with her passion, her unwavering moral compass strongly contributes to her success in the field and guides her to always be honest, forthright and genuine.
Judge Hutson's father, whom she considers her hero, has been a source of great inspiration for her throughout her academic and professional career.

Specifically, her focus is on improving criminal laws, enhancing protections for victims and updating language in existing laws to ensure they align with national trends.
