SUMMARY:Preventive Justice: The Quest for Certainty in Predicting Future Harm
DESCRIPTION:Chief Justice Sir Francis Forbes Annual Law Lecture\nLocation: Inco Innovation Centre Lecture Theatre 2001 \nFree Parking in Adjacent Lot 17\nMemorial University Campus \n \nThe term “preventive justice” was first used in the 18th century and linked to laws aimed at preventing future crime. In many jurisdictions based on the common law\, the past few decades have seen preventive justice schemes reinvigorated in association with a focus on risk assessment tools aimed at predicting the risk of future harmful behaviour. Recently\, predictive machine learning algorithms have been used to inform judicial decision-making\, including sentencing. Using case studies\, this lecture will explore some of the legal and ethical issues raised by preventive justice schemes and will consider whether the quest for certainty in predicting future harm is any closer to being fulfilled. \nBrought to you by Memorial University\, the Law Society of Newfoundland and Labrador\, and the Law Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador. \nFeaturing guest speaker: \nDr. Bernadette McSherry\nEmeritus Professor of Law\nUniversity of Melbourne \nThis is a unique opportunity to engage with a leading expert in the field of preventive justice and to discuss the evolving role of law and technology in shaping our legal landscape. Don’t miss out on the chance to deepen your understanding of these critical issues and connect with professionals in the legal community. \nView the event poster here. \nDr. Bernadette McSherry to Deliver 2025 Chief Justice Forbes Lecture

SUMMARY:Dramatic Reading of Leviathan Unbound
DESCRIPTION:Join Us for a Dramatic Reading of Leviathan Unbound\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation: LSPU Hall\nAdmission: Free and open to the public \nThe S.S. Daisy Legal History Committee invites you to a dramatic reading of Leviathan Unbound: Currie et al. v. Macdonald et al.\, a play by John Joy. This compelling work revisits a pivotal 1948 legal case in which six members of Newfoundland’s House of Assembly and Legislative Council challenged the legitimacy of the National Convention and confederation referendum. This historic case ultimately sought a court declaration deeming the actions of the Governor and Commissioners of Government unconstitutional. \nThis production\, co-produced and co-directed by Alex Jessome\, provides a unique glimpse into a crucial moment in Newfoundland’s legal history. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience this powerful story! \n\nView the poster for Leviathan Unbound here

SUMMARY:90th ANNIVERSARY OF LOUISE M. SAUNDERS’ CALL TO THE BAR
DESCRIPTION:The Law Society’s SS Daisy Legal History Committee is launching the Women’s Legal History Project and celebrating the first woman admitted to the Bar\, Louise M. Saunders\, 90 years after her call. \nLouise M. Saunders was born in Greenspond\, Bonavista Bay. She studied law under Sir Richard Squires\, and in 1933\, she became the province’s first woman lawyer. In 1964\, Ms. Saunders was raised to the silk\, becoming the first woman appointed Queen’s Counsel. Ms. Saunders was a practising lawyer until her death in 1969. Besides her career\, Louise was active in the community and a talented painter. \nThis event is being held in October\, which is recognized as Women’s History Month in Canada. In 1992\, the Government of Canada designated October as Women’s History Month\, marking the beginning of an annual celebration of the outstanding achievements of women and girls throughout Canada’s history. \nThe Committee is thrilled to welcome Chief Justice Deborah E. Fry as guest speaker at this event. Chief Justice Fry was appointed to the Trial Division of the Supreme Court of Newfoundland on March 30\, 2007\, and was appointed as the first female Chief Justice of the Court of Appeal on June 22\, 2018. \nPlease send your RSVP to Leah at lgriffiths@lsnl.ca to register for the event. \nGuest Speaker: Chief Justice Deborah E. Fry \nChief Justice Fry graduated from the University of Saskatchewan in 1973 with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. She then worked as a public health nurse in Saskatoon and subsequently in Australia where she taught at the Western Australian School of Nursing in Perth before contemplating a career in law. Chief Justice Fry graduated from the University of Saskatchewan School of Law in 1980 then moved to this Province. She articled at the Department of Justice and was called to the Bar in 1981. \nStarting as a solicitor in the Department of Justice\, Chief Justice Fry’s organizational ability\, intelligence\, and work ethic were soon recognized. She served as Associate Deputy Minister of Justice from 1987 to 1991 and was Deputy Minister of Employment and Labour Relations from 1991 to 1996. In March 1996\, Chief Justice Fry was appointed Deputy Minister of Education where she played a critical role in the reform of the province’s denominational education system. She served as Deputy Minister of Human Resources and Employment until 1999 and as Deputy Minister of Health & Community Services. \nOn February 12\, 2001\, Chief Justice Fry became Clerk of the Executive Council and Secretary to Cabinet\, the first woman to hold such a position. Chief Justice Fry co-founded the Centre for Innovative Dispute Resolution; received the YMCA/YWCA of St. John’s Women of Distinction Award and the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal; and was twice named one of Canada’s Top 100 Most Powerful Women by the Women’s Executive Network. \nChief Justice Fry is on the board of directors of the National Judges Counselling Program and previously served as president of the Program. She also served on the board of directors of the Canadian chapter of the International Association of Women Judges. \nSince taking office\, Chief Justice Fry has done significant work related to the provision of legal assistance for incarcerated self-represented litigants\, including improving ways to distribute legal information and streamlining processes for connecting self-represented litigants to legal counsel or pro bono services.

SUMMARY:Newfoundland and Labrador Historical Society Lecture: The Mysterious Lambert de Boilieu by Robin McGrath 
DESCRIPTION:Please join us online on Thursday\, March 30 at 7:30 p.m. (7:00 p.m. ADT) for this month’s NLHS lecture: \nThe Mysterious Lambert de Boilieu by Robin McGrath  \nRecollection of Labrador Life was first published in England in 1861 by Lambert de Boilieu\, then reprinted with editing and notes by Thomas F. Bredin by Ryerson Press in 1969. The work has been widely accepted as a memoir of life at Battle Harbour in the 1850s\, and is frequently cited in popular and academic articles. However\, research about the book and its author clearly indicated that no such person as de Boilieu existed by that name\, and many of the events described could not have happened in the 1850s\, if at all. Using various documents\, including court records\, Dr. Robin McGrath makes a tentative identification of the true author of the book and attempts to clarify his motivations for presenting fiction as fact. \nPlease register through this link: http://bit.ly/3ZFvQ7P   \nAfter registering\, you will receive an email with the link to the lecture. \nPresented by the Newfoundland & Labrador Historical Society \nUli Brown\nOffice Manager\nNewfoundland and Labrador Historical Society\nP.O.
