The woman known as Justice Strauss is a delightful and wonderful woman who lives just nextdoor to the vile and disgraceful Count Olaf. She has often dreamed of a life in theater as an actor, but due to some rather rude opinions from people she trusted, instead she found herself applying in the judicial system where she became a judge of the high court. And dare I say that if the Baudelaires had found themselves under the ownership of this lovely woman, rather than her dreadful neighbor, their lives would have almost certainly been brighter.
