Beverley McLachlin

Beverley McLachlin was born in 1943 in Pincher Creek, Alberta. By the time she was appointed to the Vancouver County Court in 1981, McLachlin had been practicing law in both Alberta and British Columbia. She would later serve on the Supreme Court of British Columbia, and the British Columbia court of appeal. In 1988, McLachlin became Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of British Columbia. In 2000, McLachlin was appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada. She held this post until 2017, making her the longest-serving Chief Justice in the history of the court. Under McLachlin's leadership, the court issued several landmark rulings, including a decision that upheld the constitutional validity of same-sex marriage, and another which outlined the obligation of the Crown to consult with indigenous peoples.

Délations, effets rétrogrades, délit d'opinion, etc. : démocratie en transition totalitaire.

« [...] Récompenser les informateurs anonymes de “propos haineux”

La proposition de loi canadienne, qui rappelle la «législation sur les services numériques» européenne, l’ACMA australienne, ou encore la loi française du 6 mars 2024, va encore plus loin. L’ancien juge de la Cour suprême du Canada Beverley McLachlin a commenté cette loi en disant : «La prison à perpétuité pour le fait d’envoyer des mots, c’est lourd.»

En examinant le texte, on s’aperçoit en effet qu’il prévoit des mesures qui vont bien au-delà de la protection des enfants. Il s’agit par exemple :

D’enrôler les citoyens du Canada dans un ambitieux système de surveillance sociale, avec des récompenses allant jusqu’à 20’000 dollars pour les «informateurs» anonymes de «propos haineux.»

D’introduire des sanctions pénales extraordinaires, y compris la prison à perpétuité, non seulement pour les crimes existants comme «l’apologie du génocide», mais également pour toute «infraction motivée par la haine», sans préciser ce que cela signifie exactement.

De punir le précrime, c’est-à-dire que si un magistrat est convaincu qu’une personne commettra sans doute dans le futur un crime de «haine», elle peut être emprisonnée pendant un an, être assignée à domicile, se voir saisir les armes en sa possession, ou être obligée de se soumettre à des tests toxicologiques. Le tout pour punir préventivement la probabilité d’un crime qui n’a pas encore été commis.

De punir les déclarations passées; la loi contourne le principe de non-rétroactivité (au passage inscrit dans la déclaration des droits de l’Homme de 1789) en qualifiant l’infraction de «communication continue» de haine; c’est-à-dire que le crime serait celui de ne pas avoir supprimé une déclaration passée.

D’obliger les plateformes Internet des entreprises à supprimer les «contenus préjudiciables» pratiquement sur demande (dans les 24 heures dans certains cas), sous peine d’amendes pouvant aller jusqu’à 6% du chiffre d’affaires mondial brut. [...] »

Representation

I chose this photo to be an example of representation. It is a photo taken by the photographer Amber Bracken and I chose it as representation because hanging of red dresses are presented as a visual response to the disproportionate violence faced by women with an Indigenous heritage began in Winnipeg, Manitoba, in 2011; orange shirts are also used, specifically to acknowledge suffering caused to children by the residential school system in Canada. Residential schools began operating in the 19th century as part of a policy of assimilating people from various Indigenous communities into Western, and predominantly Christian culture. Students were removed from their homes and parents – frequently by force – and often forbidden to communicate in their own languages. Their hair was cut short, and they had to wear uniforms, rather than traditional clothing, were given Euro-Christian names in place of their own, and were subject to physical and sometimes sexual abuse. Supreme Court Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin claimed Canada used the institutions to commit cultural genocide. The photographer has an ongoing personal work that looks at how intergenerational trauma from Residential Schools continues to impact young people who have never had to attend, and also how intergenerational healing is passed between generations.

An essential read from a former Chief Justice of the Canadian Supreme Court

...what does this vaunted “freedom” mean?

The answer is, everything and nothing.

Everything: the right not to wear masks in public places; the right not to be vaccinated; the right to hold Ottawa’s downtown residents and businesses hostage; the right to malign public officials and call for the Prime Minister’s death; the right to shout epithets at people of colour.

And nothing. Because freedom is an empty word unless you ask further questions: “Freedom from what?” “Freedom to do what?” And beyond that, “Where do my freedoms end and the freedoms of others begin?

Had a good book haul this week!

[allthecanadianpolitics]

Former Supreme Court of Canada chief justice Beverley McLachlin has been called in to investigate allegations of misconduct against two suspended B.C. legislature officials.

McLachlin has been retained by the house leaders of all three parties in the legislative assembly and will act as a special investigator into charges of misuse of public funds by Clerk of the House Craig James and Sergeant-at-Arms Gary Lenz.

Her role will be to determine if James and Lenz engaged in misconduct while working in the legislature.

[inbonobo]

In her final week as chief justice, Beverley McLachlin says with confidence, tinged with pride, that she's leaving the justice system the strongest it's ever been.

But she's also aware there's still a long way to go.

Changes to the justice system were largely the focus of her exit interview with The Sunday Edition's Michael Enright. She has been on the Supreme Court of Canada for 28 years and has served as chief justice for nearly 18, a record.

Her departing concerns include the need to appoint more judges and crown prosecutors to make the process more effective and clear up the backlog of cases, which a Senate report called a "crisis" this June.

Quebec jurist Richard Wagner named next Supreme Court chief justice

Supreme Court of Canada chief justice hears final case, fights back tears

"We need to have an effective justice system that is capable of rendering justice without breaching the charter, which is our fundamental law," she said. "We can do it. I believe we can do it."

McLachlin suggested several areas where more change is needed — here are a few:

Sexual assault

The recent wave of sexual misconduct allegations — from Jian Ghomeshi to Harvey Weinstein — have highlighted the justice system's shortcomings on how to deal with sexual assault.  

McLachlin admits it is a difficult area to police because "it tends to come down to credibility." Remembering exact details that happened decades earlier can be impossible.

She suggests more work could be done with complainants to document their story early in the process, so there is no confusion later. McLachlin also wants to work on helping complainants understand the process "so they realize what's involved."

"I think we can do better and I hope we will in the future."

Young people

McLachlin said the justice system needs to pay more attention to vulnerable young people convicted of small crimes. She said they often enter the system "pretty innocent" but end up as criminals.

"We have story after story of people who started off with a minor offence and then end up doing more and more time, and then sometimes fail to appear," she said.

They end up racking up all sorts of administrative offences, which don't have anything to do with the original crime.

"And their lives are lost. They are basically in and out of jail for the rest of their life. That is something we have to avoid," she says.

She suggests alternative sentences, like the options offered for cases when mental health is involved.

"We have diversionary courts [and] drug courts where people say, 'I want to get better. I want to get off and get clean,' and they work with the judge and with social workers and others to do that."

Indigenous people

Indigenous people make up a sizeable part of Canada's prison population: Indigenous men represent 25.2 per cent of all men behind bars, while Indigenous women represent 36.1 per cent of all female inmates.  

McLachlin recognizes that's a problem and suggests tackling it at a young age.

"I think part of it is providing proper education and resources for kids when they're small ... and avoiding initial entry into the criminal law system."

She also brings up the need for alternatives if Indigenous people are convicted of crimes.

"We all talk about restorative justice but we need to do more to ... make up for the wrong and get on the right track and live a productive life. It's really an imperative that we put more focus on this."

Her advice for successor

McLachlin finishes her term on Friday, Dec. 15, but will spend the next six months writing up "reserved" decisions she has already made.

Her successor, Quebec jurist Richard Wagner, takes the oath of office Monday.

Her advice to him echoes some of the bigger changes she'd like to see.

"Do everything you can do to keep the court strong and happy," she says.

"You just have one vote amongst others. You don't have any particular levers you can push. But I said the one thing I thought I could do something about was ... help the eight other judges on the court be as effective and as happy and as productive and wise as I can."

How Canada's First Female Chief Justice Helped Define the Country's Rights and Freedoms

Beverley McLachlin presided over some of the most pivotal cases in Canadian legal history

Like many powerful women of her generation, McLachlin writes that she experienced the weight of being “the first”: “everyone is waiting and watching—some rooting for you, and some secretly hoping you’ll fail. And the future of those who follow rests on how you fare.” She recounts a joke told to her by Justice Bertha Wilson, the first woman appointed to the Supreme Court, when McLachlin became the court’s third: “Three down, six to go.” She felt a particular kinship with Wilson, as well as with US Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg—though unlike “Notorious RBG,” McLachlin, while widely respected, hasn’t elicited feminist and progressive swooning.

Judge, Ontario Supreme Court, Toronto, Ont.  Nordheimer's name is becoming synonymous with class action suits largely due to his ruling, which overturned Justice Edward Belobaba's decision in a high-profile situation on carriage in the Barrick Gold class action suit.  Nordheimer granted the losing coalition of law firms leave to appeal Belobaba's decision in the Divisional Court.  He's probably the most influential Superior Court level judge in the nation with a decade on the seat and produces perhaps the best number of thorough judgments each year compared to any trial level estimate.  He's famous for his quick wit and sharp conclusions.  In the past year, Nordheimer has made a significant splash from the legal community by imitating a professional field punishment for current LSUC bencher Joe Groia and releasing information that demonstrated Rob Ford was the subject of a police investigation.What the panel had to say: He is the sort of judge who must be on the Court of Appeal... or greater.  A judge of absolute integrity.

Frank Iacobucci

Senior counselor, Torys LLP, Toronto, Ont. This heated justice has set the bar for police treatment of the mentally ill.  His 2014 landmark report summarized 84 sound ways of helping to prevent shooting of mentally ill people by the Toronto Police.  The execution of the report would go a long way toward avoiding disastrous confrontations between police and emotionally disturbed individuals.  Some of the recommendations include using body-worn cameras and enhanced use of tasers.  The report is a strong message that the status quo is no longer okay.  As a Torys counselor, Iacobucci is used to advising government and company on important legal and policy issues. What Republicans needed to say: Has anybody really done more?  and Energetic, not stops.

Mark Tamminga

Partner, Gowling Lafleur Henderson LLP, Hamilton, Ont. Tamminga has committed his career to automating legal practices.  His information technology focus began in 1986 while he was still a law student and has been given the job of systemizing the manufacturing environment for mortgage files.  Ever since then, Tamminga's capability for legal technology has only grown with Gowlings LLP.  Three years back, he had been called Gowlings' Innovation Initiatives leader.  He's in charge of automating the Gowlings recovery solutions clinic.  He has designed and built a number of further practice systems in the areas of debt collection, loan placement, and civil litigation.  His role has demanded re-thinking that the thornier aspects of big firm operations: managing cultural change, inducing client-side believing, and building the reimbursement mechanics, which drive new behaviour. Exactly what the panel had to say: Tamminga has shown actual vision in handling tough issues that lots of law firms aren't quite ready to take on.

Justice Beverley McLachlin

Chief justice, Supreme Court of Canada, Ottawa, Ont.  A frequent member of the Top 25 list and also the top vote-getter in years past, McLachlin continues to make waves, handing down two quite significant decisions on aboriginal law.  The 2014 Tsilhqot'in Nation v. British Columbia decision directed by McLachlin is the earliest of its kind in the history of British Columbia.  This past year the Supreme Court of Canada granted declaration of aboriginal title to over 1,700 square kilometres of land.  She is also responsible for upholding the decision of the Ontario Court of Appeal at Keewatin v. Ontario (Natural Resources) published in July 2014, she has what the Lamer court started and has left her mark in this region for decades ahead.  The chief justice continues to be a highly effective proponent of justice for all Canadians.  As her unbelievable amount of votes once again this season show, McLachlin is greatly admired not just for her rulings but also her public support in favour of free speech, diversity, and inclusive direction.  What Republicans needed to say: An excellent judge who, time and time again, marries the law with common sense.  Justifiably most respected legal mind in the country; remarkable integrity; reliable public servant; clearly guided by law enforcement and a strong ideology.

Myles' recent claim to fame is that the $3-billion international merger of Barbados-based Columbus International Inc. with England-based Cable & Wireless Communications PLC..  His M&A expertise, together with his dedicated client relationships, haven't only led to the largest deal in the telecommunications company's history, but demonstrated that significant foreign deals are being deftly managed by an Atlantic Canadian law firm.  He's also acted as lead counsel and tactical advisor on numerous acquisitions, licensing, and funding of several subsea and terrestrial telecommunications businesses in the international seafood processing and marketing industry.  Myles also advised on aviation matters, on many national and international commercial bankruptcy and restructuring projects and on power and transport matters. What Republicans needed to state:[An] excellent attorney with international vision.  Massive asset to any trade.

From Precision to Vagueness - Part 4, Section 2: Culture Wars in the High Courts

From Precision to Vagueness – Part 4, Section 2: Culture Wars in the High Courts

Introduction and Recap

In the last piece, I looked at how the historical trends of rationalist and progressive thinking are embodied in contemporary legal philosophy. Legal positivism is the idea that law does not contain any necessary connection to natural law and justice but is simply a fact that demands coercion and obedience. The most common way to understand and apply the law is…

Retirement apparently isn't Beverley McLachlin's cup of tea.

The Hong Kong judiciary announced Wednesday that Canada's former chief justice of the Supreme Court will be joining its top court.

McLachlin has been named a non-permanent judge in the Court of Final Appeal. And her appointment will be a historic one: she and U.K. Supreme Court Judge Baroness Brenda Hale will be the first non-permanent judges in the special administrative region, according to the South China Morning Post.
