Alberta judge, educator Sheilah Martin named to Supreme Court of Canada
OTTAWA — While strolling in Montreal years ago, Sheilah Martin was surprised to see a book she had written about principles of Quebec law in the storefront window of a popular shop.
Martin, who penned the tome as a law student, wasn’t even aware it had been published.
She says now that the moment taught her it was possible to think and write something into existence, put ideas out into the universe and do work that can make a difference.
Martin will have a highly visible and influential forum to do all of those things as the newest justice of the Supreme Court of Canada.
