About this ebook

Fifty years in a law profession she loves, twenty-four of which were spent as judge, Nancy Morrison has stories to tell. Being a former judge, Nancy could not have written this book during the 24 years on the bench. It is very much a political book, focusing on the need for law reform. Entertaining, at times warm and witty, it is also a memoir that reminds us of dark days. Nancy Morrison’s career spanned three provinces and two territories, as a lawyer, arbitrator and judge. Although the book has a light touch, it also nudges us on the social and political issues of the day.
