Louise Charron
Louise Charron (born March 2, 1951 in Sturgeon Falls, Ontario) is a Canadian jurist. She was appointed to the Supreme Court of Canada in October, 2004, and is the first Franco-Ontarian Supreme Court judge. (This distinction has sometimes been attributed to Louise Arbour, but Arbour was born and raised Québécois.)
Charron graduated in law from the University of Ottawa in 1975, and was called to the Bar of Ontario in 1977. She practiced civil litigation, and then joined the Crown Attorney's office in 1980, and then became a law professor at the University of Ottawa.
She was appointed to the District Court of Ontario in 1988, and to the Ontario Court of Appeal in 1995. She is eligible to sit on the bench until 2026 when she reaches age 75. She will therefore have 20 years to exert influence on Canadian law.
