सुशीला कार्की, ७ जुन १९५२ मा विराटनगरमा जन्मनुभएकी, नेपालको सुप्रीम कोर्टको मुख्य न्यायाधीश बन्ने पहिलो र एकमात्र महिला हुनुहुन्छ। उहाँले ११ जुलाई २०१६ देखि ७ जुन २०१७ सम्म मुख्य न्यायाधीशको रूपमा कार्यभार सम्हालेर नेपालको न्यायिक इतिहासमा गहिरो छाप छोड्नुभयो। बनारस हिन्दू विश्वविद्यालयबाट राजनीति विज्ञानमा स्नातकोत्तर र त्रिभुवन विश्वविद्यालयबाट कानुनमा स्नातक गर्नुभएकी कार्कीले १९७९ मा कानुनी अभ्यास सुरु गर्नुभएको थियो। उहाँ २००७ मा वरिष्ठ अधिवक्ता र २०१० मा सुप्रीम कोर्टको स्थायी न्यायाधीश बन्नुभयो। सुप्रसिद्ध न्यायाधीश हुनुका साथै सुशीला कार्की एक कुशल लेखिका पनि हुनुहुन्छ। उहाँको आत्मकथात्मक पुस्तक "न्याय" (२०१८) उहाँको संघर्षमय र प्रेरणादायी यात्राको कथा हो, भने दोस्रो पुस्तक "कारा"(२०१९) पञ्चायती शासनकालमा विराटनगर जेलमा उहाँले भोगेका अनुभवहरूमा आधारित उपन्यास हो। कानुन र साहित्य दुवै क्षेत्रमा उहाँको योगदान अनुकरणीय छ, जसले नयाँ पुस्तालाई प्रेरणा दिइरहेको छ।
