Professional Development

3.1 A Woman’s Place is in the House: The House of Commons, the Courthouse and in-House Counsel

Tuesday, August 19, 9:00 – 10:30

This program will focus on areas of practice for women lawyers that are sometimes considered non-traditional, including politics, corporations and the judiciary. Panelists will explore why women have been and still are under-represented in these areas, and how women are increasingly making a difference in these “houses” – legislatures, courthouses, and as in-house counsel.

Moderator:
Veronica L. Jackson, Ministry of Attorney General - Legal Services (Victoria) 

Speakers:
Valerie Beaudin, Bell Canada (Montreal)
Madam Justice Lois R. Hoegg, Supreme Court of Newfoundland & Labrador (St. John’s)
The Honourable A. Anne McLellan, P.C. Bennet Jones (Edmonton)
