WOMEN LAWYERS IN THE PRO
' VINCE OF QUEBEC
Canadian Judge Holds That to Admit a Woman
to Practice Law Would be a Direct Infringe
ment upon Public Order and a Manifest Viol
ation of the Law of Good Morals*
Ill the province of Quebec quite differ
; views are held on tne subject of women
lawyers from those which largely prevail
in this country, as is shown by a recent
ruling from the bench in Montreal. It
was held that to admit a woman to prac
tice law would be “a manifest violation
of the law of good morals and public de
cency,” and that it would further be "a
direct infringment upon public order.”
As reported in the Montreal Star, the
case came up on the petition of Mrs.
Annie Langstaff that the bar of the pro
vince of (Quebec be ordered to admit
her to the eliminations required pre
liminary to her becoming duly enrolled
as a student at law. Mrs Langstaff is a
Bachelor of Civil Law of McGill Univer
sity and is employed in the law office of
S. W, Jacobs, King's Counsel of Mon
treal, The Bar Association strongly op
posed the granting of her petition, the
first made by a woman. The Star quotes
Justice St. Pierre, who passed on the
petition, in part as follows:
I am not a legislator but a Judge, and
thequeotion submitted to me is not
whether it should be more fair and reas
onable that women should be placed on
a footing of equality with men and
allowed to become members of the legal
profession, but whether, at the time
when the law which incorporated the
bar of the Province of Quebec, the leg
islature intended that women should he
included in the law, and given the same
privileges which were granted to the
male sex. . .
1 hold that to admit a woman, and
more particularly a married woman, as
i barrister; that is to say, as a person
who pleads cases at the bar before
fudges and juries in open court and in
the presence of the public, would be
nothing short of a dirtct infringement
upon public order and a manifest viola
tion of the law of good morals and pub
lic decency.
Let us for a momeut picture to our
selves a woman appearing as counsel in
in obscene case, and putting to the com
plainant the questions which must of all
lecessity be asked in order to make
proof of the facts which are of the es
sence of the crime.
Na women possessing the least sense
ji decency could possibly do so without
throwing a blur upon her own dignity
iml without bringing into utter con
tempt the honor and respect due to her
5ex.- -N. Y. Times.
