| Sumario: | "In a letter to his two children, both of whom died of an incurable disease, Michel Bastarache tells the story of his childhood in Acadia and his many professional pursuits leading up to his appointment as the first Acadian Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada. He recalls his constant battle to advance the equality of francophone and anglophone communities, his involvement with organizations advocating on behalf of francophones outside Quebec and his careers as a professor, a public servant, a lawyer and a judge. Michel Bastarache offers readers a behind-the-scenes look at his highest-profile cases and reveals the inner workings of Canada's highest court. He also comments on the controversy surrounding the inquiry into the Court of Québec judicial appointments process and on his work mediating the reconciliation and compensation process for alleged victims of sexual abuse by former priests in New Brunswick."-- |
