Delaware County District Attorney Shout-Out - ADA Rachael Collins

District Attorney Shawn Smith and the Delaware County District Attorney’s office want to extend a warm welcome to our new Assistant District Attorney, Rachael Collins. 

Mrs. Collins is a native of Australia but moved permanently to the United States in 2005. The pandemic allowed Rachael and her family the opportunity to move to Delaware County in 2021.

Rachael obtained her BSC and LLB (equivalent of Bachelors and JD) at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia. She was an associate professor in criminal law and administrative law at Deacon University in Melbourne Australia.  After that she became an associate to a Judge in the High Court of Australia. This would be equivalent to being a clerk for the United States Supreme court.  She has a Masters of Law from Columbia Law and a Masters of Ethics from the Australian Catholic University. She also began a doctoral program at Oxford University in England. 

Mrs. Collins says that she is delighted to serve her community and has begun working diligently to learn the intricacies of our local systems. We are extremely excited to have her in Delhi. Please join us in welcoming her aboard!
