A lawyer, arbitrator, and judge, as well as a politicial activist and feminist, Nancy Morrison practiced law and adjudicated in Ontario, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, Yukon, and the Northwest Territories. For more than 50 years, she has been a public speaker on social and political issues. As a judge, she served for nine years on the British Columbia Provincial court, 1972-1981, including three years as a vice-chair of the BC Labour relations board; and 15 years on the Supreme Court of British Columbia, 1996-2011. Raised in Yorkton, Saskatchewan, she now lives in Vancouver.
Critic reviews
“Nancy Morrison, writes about her experiences on the bench with uncommon candour, intelligence and a welcome dose of humour.” (Jack Batten, The Toronto Star)
“I never had to appear before Judge Morrison and I would like to keep it that way. Benched is a truly fascinating book - a must read - Nancy made me say that or face solitary.” (Vicki Gabareau)
