Invitation to Upcoming Book Launch at The Law Courts Inn
VALL Members are invited to the book launch of Benched: Passion for Law Reform written by the Honourable Madam Justice Nancy Morrison.
Benched, Nancy Morrison’s new book, illuminates the prejudice and sexism women faced through her decades inside the Canadian legal system. Fifty years in a law profession she loves, twenty-four spent as a judge, including fifteen on the Supreme Court of B.C., Nancy Morrison is a storyteller and trail-blazer. Entertaining, at times warm and witty, this memoir also reminds us of dark times, of the ever-relevant social and political issues of the day, and the need for law reform.
Benched is a must-read for members of the law profession, written by one of their own, and for students who may be considering Law as a career.
What they are saying:
“Nancy comes from an interesting background, not only in practicing law but being interested in social justice. Her great ability is understanding and describing how and why people behave as they do.” — Hon. Anne Rowles, former judge of the B.C. Supreme Court and the B.C. Court of Appeal
“Nancy’s memoir provides insightful observations on human nature, law, as well as cases and causes in which Nancy was involved, or led the way. A fascinating read.”— Hon. Patrick LeSage, former Chief Justice of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice
Date: Friday, October 26, 2018 from 4 to 6 pm.
Location: The Law Courts Inn, 5th Floor, 800 Smithe Street, Vancouver
