Without Precedent offers definitive look at Supreme Court of Canada’s Rosalie Abella
If you were to stop the average person on the street and ask them who currently sits on the Supreme Court of Canada, I imagine you’d receive a great deal of blank stares. While the U.S. bench gets all the headlines – sometimes even for the right reasons – there seems to be a blissful ignorance of just what goes on in Canada’s highest court, and who it is making the decisions that affect us all.
Abella can, by this point in her life, claim a number of remarkable firsts. The youngest judge in Canadian history. The country’s first female Jewish Supreme Court Judge. And now she is the first Canadian judge, as far as I can tell, to have a feature-length documentary devoted to her myriad achievements. Precedent-breaking, indeed.
