Judith A. Livingston (born 1955) is an American lawyer.
Livingston grew up on Long Island, and initially intended to study sociology. However, she gained a J.D. degree from Hofstra University and instead went into the legal profession, joining New York City law firm Kramer, Dillof, Tessel, Duffy & Moore, following her 1979 graduation, as an assistant to the office manager. She became a law partner in the firm in 1989.
In 1992, Livingston became the first female member to be admitted to the exclusive Inner Circle of Advocates, a society of the top 100 American plaintiffs' lawyers in the nation. In 2022, she became the first woman and youngest member to become president of the invitation-only organization of the top 100 plaintiffs' lawyers in the United States.
A specialist in medical malpractice, Livingston is a partner at the New York legal firm Kramer, Dillof, Livingston and Moore, and is married to her fellow partner Thomas Moore.
