Document Summary

Officially appointed by the governor-general, on advice of minister of justice/prime minister: practicing lawyer for at least ten years or s. 96 court judge, by law (supreme court act) 3 judges must come from quebec. Supreme court is not the final court of appeal in this period. Regional representation was still important in this period. Group representation (french/english and/or religion of the applicant) and patronage have changed significantly since that time: frank anglin: he was from irish descent. He reminded the federal government that they were losing support in ontario and if they appointed irish person they will gain support and that he is a good candidate. He was from ontario and his family had long worked for the liberal party. Anglin got his wish and he was appointed to supreme court. Was this a fair appointment: since 1954 there have been no appointments based on patronage.
