Renowned Canadian civil rights lawyer Clayton Ruby took on some of the country's most groundbreaking and high-profile cases
Renowned Canadian civil rights lawyer Clayton Ruby, who took on some of the country's most groundbreaking and high-profile cases, has died, his law firm confirmed Wednesday.
The Toronto firm said it is mourning the loss of its leader and mentor, a "dedicated advocate for human rights, a champion of the underdog and a loving friend.""He understood justice and he fought for it. He made the world a better place," she said in a tweet. "Clay was funny, kind, and completely original. We will not see his like again. Rest in peace, dear friend."
He also represented former MP Svend Robinson, who was present in 1994 at the then-illegal medically assisted death of right-to-die advocate Sue Rodriguez. In the end, Robinson was not charged in the case.
