Learn moreFifty years in a law profession she loves, twenty-four spent as a judge, Nancy Morrison is a story-teller and trail-blazer. Entertaining, at times warm and witty, this memoir also reminds us of dark times, of the ever-relevant social and political issues of the day, the need for law reform. Here is a life that was never dull, including the twenty-four years Nancy shared with actor Bruno Gerussi.
Benched is a must-read for members of the law profession, written by one of their own, and for students who may be considering Law as a career. In addition, for women and other minorities, the book is a reminder of our history, when todayโs rights were not a given.
Nancy Morrison practised law and adjudicated in Ontario, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, Yukon and the Northwest Territories. As a judge, she served nine years on the British Columbia Provincial Criminal Court, 1972 to 1981, and later, fifteen years on the Supreme Court of British Columbia. Raised in Yorkton, Saskatchewan, she now lives in Vancouver, B.C.
