Beverley McLachlin
As a lawyer, judge, and professor, and the first woman to be chief 
justice of the Supreme Court of British Columbia, Beverley 
McLachlin has dedicated her life to the idea of equal justice for all 
people.
*
There was not much doubt that Beverley McLachlin was going to be a success. Growing 
up in the small town of Pincher Creek, Alberta in the 1940s, Beverley was an excellent 
student and had learned the value of hard work from her farmer parents.
The question was - what would she do with her excellent brain? Beverley herself was not 
sure, even while she was going to university, but two things happened that changed her 
life.
The first incident was a chance meeting with a stranger on the bus. The stranger was a 
Native Canadian, who told Beverley how she had been taken from her family, forced to 
go to a “residential school,” and how her culture and language were taken away from her.
The second incident was a special privilege - being chosen to go on a foreign study trip as 
part of one of her university programs. In the African country of Algeria, Beverley saw 
real poverty and injustice. She learned how hard life was for people who had no rights 
and no one to stand up for them.
These events strengthened Beverley McLachlin’s sense of justice and fairness, and she 
never forgot them. She went on to earn her law degree and dedicate her life to the idea of 
equal justice for all people.


She soon earned a reputation as a brilliant legal mind who could tackle the trickiest 
situations. Within a few years, she was taking on major cases at a top law firm in 
Vancouver and teaching law at university.
McLachlin was a natural choice to become a judge - fair-minded and compassionate, but 
also tough and smart. It did not take long for her to be promoted to higher courts. She 
became the first woman to be chief justice of the Supreme Court of B.C., and then, in 
1989, she was asked to serve in the highest court of the land, the Supreme Court of 
Canada.
As a judge, Beverley McLachlin has made major decisions that affect her whole nation - 
helping to draw the line between the rights of individuals and the power of government. 
Legal experts say she brings a unique and powerful point of view, coming up with 
solutions others might never have thought of.
But all of her decisions, and all of her work for groups dedicated to education and justice, 
are based on her core belief that all people deserve equal freedom, justice, and protection.
