Supreme Court of Canada

Welcome to the Supreme Court!

First of all, I want to thank the security guards because they were very friendly and helpful. I did not pack to visit the courthouse because I did not think I would have the time. Therefore, I still had my arts and crafts safety scissors in my school bag. This is a no-no for court room visitors. The guards were willing to hold my pencil case containing the forbidden object while I toured. Thank you!

Second, my tour guide was terrific. L is going into her third year of a civil law program and adjusted her speech knowing we have similar backgrounds. She also added that her office down the hall from the conference room, and admitted to sneaking peeks of the Justices as they walk through the halls.

Lastly, the courtroom itself has a very rich feel. The web site photos give you an idea but are no substitute for a visit:
