Confined to a wheelchair since a car accident as a teenager, Broderick made a conscious decision to push forward in life, reinventing herself as a woman in a wheelchair. After earning a bachelor's and a master's degree, she began working as a probation officer. Her courtroom experiences inspired her to become a lawyer. She became an assistant U.S. Attorney in 1982, eventually becoming an expert in money laundering cases. She was appointed Associate Judge of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia on November 3, 1998.
When Broderick is not doing legal work she travels, enjoys theater, plays the flute, and skis.
