RIP Bertha Wilson
Canada's first female Supreme Court justice, Bertha Wilson, passed away this Saturday.
Justice Wilson sat on the SCC between 1982 and 1991, and was a staunch Charter supporter and author of a number of woman-friendly judicial opinions, perhaps most notably in R. v. Morgantaler and R. v. Lavallee (which accepted battered woman syndrome as a defence to murder).
Although she apparently did not call herself a feminist, Justice Wilson was avidly pro-choice and upon retiring from the bench chaired the CBA's Task Force on Gender Equality.
Justice Wilson had also been the first woman appointed to the Ontario Court of Appeal. She was 83 at her death.
