Robyn Michelle Maddox Brody (born c. 1970) is a justice of the Idaho Supreme Court, a member since 2017. Elected to an open seat in November 2016, she is the third female to serve on the state's highest court, and the first not initially appointed.
Prior to her election, Brody was in private practice for nineteen years in south central Idaho, at Twin Falls and Rupert.
Born in Michigan, Brody's parents worked for United Airlines, her father was a ramp agent and her mother was in kitchen operations. At age twelve, her family moved to Denver, Colorado, and after graduation from high school in 1988, she accepted a scholarship to the University of Denver. Although she studied four years of Spanish in high school, she took to Russian in college because Spanish didn’t fit into her schedule.
After earning a bachelor's degree in international and Russian studies in 1992, Brody traveled to Russia spent a year in Saint Petersburg, teaching tenth grade English and studying Russian. She returned to Denver in 1993 and entered DU's Sturm College of Law in a dual-degree program in law (J.D.) and international management (master's), and graduated in 1997.
Directly out of law school, Brody joined a private firm in Idaho at Twin Falls and stayed for thirteen years, the last ten as a partner. She left in 2010 to begin her own firm in Rupert in Minidoka County, where she and her family had resided for several years.
