You entered this Web page by clicking on the front doors of the New Brunswick Court of Appeal, the former Teachers' College, Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada.
The motto of this Web page could very well be a line from a letter written by George Washington at West-point to Marquis de Lafayette, September 30, 1779:
"...But alas! will you not remark that amidst all the wonders recorded in holy writ no instance can be produced where a young Woman from real inclination has prefered an old man...."

"Laura Norberg traded sex with her doctor for drugs. In recovery, she took her case to the Supreme Court-and won. "I hoped it could help other women come forward."" I was one of those women.
LEAF intervened at the Supreme Court of Canada in Norberg v. Wynrib.

At left, I first approached the Supreme Court of Canada by walking up Kent St. It was an early morning in December with a light dusting of snow on the ground, unlike this warm August morning.
The Supreme Court's site provides free Internet access to all Supreme Court of Canada decisions (since 1989).

"A woman who received $5,000 in damages after accusing the Canadian wing of the Jehovah's Witnesses of negligence over their handling of allegations of sexual abuse is being asked to pay part of the religious group's...legal costs in the case."
"They may keep a low profile, but if you sue a doctor it’s almost always the Canadian Medical Protective Association running the show. Ninety-five percent of Canada’s doctors are members. So just how far will the CMPA go to protect a doctor's reputation?"
Pete Mockler, referred to in the article, was the lawyer for the Appellant in Keats v. Artditti. At CBC: Disclosure's Web site, you may view a re-broadcast of the program.

"In the mid 1980's Cathy met and married a handsome young man in the church. It seemed that all her dreams were coming true. The young couple's life seemed full and complete as together they adopted four children with special challenges.
They faced the future with faith and optimism. The seas of life seemed calm and tranquil. Then unexpectedly a raging storm blew in, turning Cathy's life upside down and causing her marriage to come to a tragic end."
The raging storm was sexual abuse; her husband was sexually abusing his adoptive daughter.
Her story was told in "Surviving a Sexual Predator," Faith & friends, September 2005, pp 8-9.
"...She claims the word of the Sandi Patti song Hand on My Shoulder as her theme:
There's a hand, a hand on my shoulder
Through the storm, however it blows
There's a hand, a hand on my shoulder
Stays with me, wherever I go.

"The 58 year old woman who hit and killed Mary Beth Chaulk on March 11, 2006 is not being brought to justice. She has been "charged" with a three hundred and something dollar ticket. She must be brought to justice. If you support having someone get away with this kind of injutice, then don't sign this... but if you don't think someone should get away with taking away Mary Beth's life when she deserved to live it so much longer, please sign it."

At left, the stairs of the Supreme Court of Canada are symbolic of the decisions that are made by legal practitioners. You are forced to go up either the left-hand staircase or the right-hand one. I chose the right-hand staircase. Once you are inside, you have to make the same decision to enter the courtroom.
I could not decide whether to put the following item on my Inspire or Legal page. It illustrates the fact that its never too late to write a wrong.
