S11E3: Breaking Barriers and Pursuing Justice with Sheila Block
Celebrated Canadian litigator Sheila Block joins host Sandra Barton. Sheila reflects on a trailblazing, 50-year career defined by complex commercial litigation, and impactful pro bono work. Sandra’s conversation with Sheila touches on civility; advocacy tips; and Sheila’s unique approach to navigating a male-dominated profession with wit and resilience. Together, they also delve into Sheila’s defense of former Associate Chief Justice, Lori Douglas - a case in which Sheila raised challenges to judicial bias and advocated against penalizing victims for non-consensual publication of their intimate pictures.
