Canada’s Supreme Court Is Now a Woman-Majority For The First Time Ever
Canada’s supreme court will now be made up of five women judges and four men judges.
Canada’s supreme court is now a woman-majority for the first time ever after the prime minister nominated this woman judge.
Mary Moreau, a judge from Alberta, was nominated by prime minister Justin Trudeau to replace a male judge who resigned.
The supreme court will now be made up of five women judges and four men judges.
Moreau has worked in Alberta’s superior court for 29 years and was most recently the chief justice there.
Her appointment comes after Trudeau named Mahmud Jamal as the first supreme court judge of color in June 2021.
And in 2022, Michelle O’Bonsawin became the first Indigenous person to become a supreme court judge.
