Annie Macdonald Langstaff Workshops
These workshops provide a forum for the presentation of scholarly research and practical insights by academics, judges, lawyers and community activists on legal issues relating to inequality, social diversity and access to justice. They are named in honour of Annie Macdonald Langstaff, who, despite being the first woman to graduate from the 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ Faculty of Law in 1914, was denied the right to practise law in Quebec because of her gender.
In recent years, the Faculty has hosted Professors Camille Nelson of Saint Louis University (Missouri), Annie Rochette of UQAM, Séverine Mathieu of EPHE (Paris), Me Pearl Eliadis, and Justices Juanita Westmoreland-Traoré and Harvey Brownstone.
