A Comment On The Canadian Bar Association's Gender Equality Task Force Report, Dianne Pothier

Dianne Pothier Collection

The Task Force Report is a comprehensive one that deserves to be read by all members of the profession. It documents widespread problems and suggests wide ranging solutions.

Although in my assessment the report is in some respects too timid, that should not take away from the fact the Report …

These I shall call "the essentialist" and "the critical modernist" versions of human rights.
