Justice Rosalie Abella/U of T
The remarkable career of Rosalie Abella has closed another chapter as she retires from the Supreme Court of Canada. Abella’s history is legendary. She was born in Germany to Jewish parents in a camp for survivors in 1946 and went on to become a force of nature in the Toronto legal community. She was appointed to the Supreme Court in 2004, the first Jewish woman to assume the role. An ongoing social concern of the judge is populism. Her interview with CTV does not delve too deeply into details however.
