It was a privilege giving a guest lecture at my alma mater @UofT for my friend Prashanth Chandrapal’s class on Inequality and Criminal Justice. To think that I walked the same hallways as a student with my then seemingly far fetched dream of becoming a lawyer is very humbling!

@TejpalSweta @tmuwomeninlaw @Mayssia Thanks so much @TejpalSweta. You inspired me when I was a newbie lawyer. Those informal self advocacy tips are just as important as the formal ones, if not more. And you continue to inspire in so many ways! 🌟

Inspired by Justice Presser’s wisdom: “If you are practicing criminal defence law while not being male and sticking with it, it is an act of resistance”! We will continue to reject mediocrity, challenge ourselves + our social norms and strive for excellence! 🌟
WiCCD Women In Canadian Criminal Defence@WiCCD_Canada

Thank you Justice Jill R. Presser for helping WiCCD celebrate our third anniversary this evening. It was another wonderful, inspiring address followed by Her Honour's responses to members' pressing questions. A warm and empowering dialogue. We are so grateful to Justice Presser!
