To all the Brown (and other) lawyers reviewing the accomplishments of Justice Jamal.
Hey…if your out of court accomplishments include getting your kids fed and in bed on time and in court you managed to contact your client before they got bench warranted, you’re a winner to me

The OBA will continue to advocate for an Indigenous nominee to the highest court. As the government looks to fill very large shoes on the Court of Appeal, the OBA will be looking to ensure that Court reflects the diversity of those who look to it for justice. 3/3

Today's announcement is a critical step towards a Canadian judiciary that reflects those it serves. True access to justice depends on having a judiciary that brings diverse experiences and perspectives. 2/3

Finding it hard to believe in #2021 that this is a first. This is an example of how the intersection of oppression works - there can be female judges, and POC judges, but not female POC judges. Glad we’ve passed this milestone #bhm #Justice #equality
