This inquiry provides a review of a moment in Canadian political history and its statesmen that stands as an example of the practice that shaped Canadian nationhood. Sir John A. Macdonald and Louis Riel were the only “Fathers of Confederation” to meet in pitched battle. Their conflicts between 1869 and 1885 shaped two separate and core elements of the Canadian regime: English-French and East-West tensions. Through a lens of statesmanship, this inquiry analyzes the thoughts and actions of these two men.

This pamphlet, which supplements the provisions of the Code of Ethics of Advocates, aims to guide members of the Bar in their relationships with their colleagues, both in Court and in the negotiation of non contentious matters. The Guide of Professional Courtesyy has no force of law. It is intended to serve a pedagogical purpose and aims to teach young lawyers and to remind more experienced ones that the principles of civility must characterize our professional conduct. After the Guide was adopted, the Ethics and Image Committee drafted an Informal Procedure for Receiving and Treating Breaches to the Guide of Professional Courtesy, which was adopted by the Council of the Bar of Montreal in February 2008, the text of which is published in the second part of this pamphlet.

THE SUPREME COURT OF CANADA History of the Institution Unknown and uncelebrated by the public, overshadowed and frequently overruled by the Privy Council, the Supreme Court of Canada before 1949 occupied a rather humble place in Canadian jurisprudence as an intermediate court of appeal. Today its name more accurately reflects its function: it is the court of ultimate appeal and the arbiter of Canada's constitutionalquestions. Appointment to its bench is the highest achieve- ment to which a member of the legal profession can aspire. This history traces the development of the Supreme Court of Canada from its establishment in the earliest days following Confederation, through itsattainment of independence from the Judicial Committeeof the Privy Council in 1949, to the adoption of the Constitution Act, 1982.

"INVISIBLE" CONSTRAINTS ON LAWYERING AND LEADERSHIP: THE CASE OF WOMEN LAWYERS Mary Jane Mossman* I. INTRODUCTION It has been a strength of patriarchy in all its historic forms to assimilate itself so perfectly to socioeconomic, political, and cultural structures as to be virtually invisible., This essay is an exploration of "invisible" constraints on ideas about the proper role for women in the legal profession. It focuses first on the historical struggle for women's admission as lawyers in Canada in the early part of this century (the issue of whether women could be lawyers at all), and secondly on the current status of women lawyers in Canada (the issue of whether women can become leaders in the legal profession).
