AND EQUITY COMMITTEE:
Treasurer, it is my distinct
10
honour to present to you and to Convocation, The
11
Honourable Mr. Justice Peter deCarteret Cory and ask
12
that you confer upon him the degree of Doctor of
13
Laws, honoris causa.
14
Entering upon a successful and varied
15
career in civil litigation his discipline and
16
capacity for work, his incisive analysis of legal
17
issues and quiet demeanour earned him the respect of
18
his peers and in 1974 his abilities were formally
19
recognized with his appointment to the High Court of
20
Justice.
21
Applying to his judicial duties the
22
same traits he applied while at the Bar, he soon
23
gained a reputation as a thoughtful and considerate
24
judge recognized not only for the depth of his legal
25
knowledge but also for the gentle and respectful
(416) 865-9339
(800) 250-9059
6
1
manner in which he treated counsel, a reputation
2
which grew as he was appointed first to the Court of
3
Appeal and then elevated to the Supreme Court of
4
Canada.
5
During ten years as a Justice of the
6
Supreme Court of Canada he has helped shape the law
7
of this land and has sought to find the delicate
8
balance between the rights of the individual and the
9
needs of the state.
10
As a member of the armed services, as
11
a practising lawyer and as a judge, Peter deCarteret
12
Cory embodies standards of learning, service and
13
civility which are exemplars to all and he is truly
14
most worthy of the Society's highest honour, the
15
degree of Doctor of Laws, honoris causa which I ask,
16
Treasurer, you now bestow upon him.

MR. JUSTICE PETER deCARTERET CORY:
12
13
what a wonderful day it is.
14
pleased I am to be here with you for this very
15
special day.
Oh
You have no idea how
Je ne peux pas dire, mais je suis
16
17
tellement content d'etre ici parmi vous pour cette
18
occasion speciale.
What does this mark?
19
It marks a great
20
step forward for you.
21
arduous, law schools set high standards, and rightly
22
so.
23
deal of hard work is required.
24
requirements are not easy to meet.
25
LOB courses are long and
The Bar Admission Course is demanding, a great
The Law Society
By your dedication and diligence you
(416) 865-9339
(800) 250-9059
9
1
have persevered, you have overcome all difficulties.
2
You have stayed the course.
Today you become lawyers.
3
This is no
4
mean feat and your efforts, your accomplishments
5
deserve this well-merited recognition.
6
indeed!
Well done
I would like as well to extend my very
7
8
best wishes to members of the family, partners,
9
friends of all these lawyers.
I know it is extremely difficult to
10
11
live with law students.
12
best of times, they are down-right intolerable at
13
exam time and it is a trait that is difficult to
14
shake.
15
"Don't despair, it gets worse with lawyers."
16
fuss and fume about files and briefs and clients.
17
Their times make it extremely difficult to live with
18
them.
19
--(Laughter/rires)
20
They are difficult at the
To those families and partners, may I say,
They
I can tell you that there is only one
21
thing perhaps worse, that is judges.
I think all the
22
profession is united in dislike of judges, and
23
probably rightly so, but you will be glad to know
24
that judges are just as miserable as lawyers when
25
they are getting their reasons ready.
So it is sort
(416) 865-9339
(800) 250-9059
10
1
of a continuous chronic disease.
2
but you do learn to live with it.
3
--(Laughter/rires)
What has all this training and
4
5
It does not improve
education meant for you?
6
First and foremost, you have learned
7
to approach all problems, whether of individuals or
8
groups or society, in a reasoned manner seeking
9
always to achieve fairness in your decisions.
You
10
know now that violence cannot succeed.
11
right and rather sweet reason and a fair approach
12
must prevail.
13
Might is not
In order to achieve a lasting
14
resolution to any problem, you have to learn to
15
follow that preceptive wisdom spoken by the prophet
16
Isaah that has come echoing down the ages:
17
let us reason together."
"Come,
Il y a beaucoup d'exemples des
18
19
problemes de notre societe, considerons la liberte
20
d'expression qui represente un principe d'une valeur
21
inestimable.
22
sans doute l'un des droits les plus convoites et les
23
plus precieux dans une societe libre et democratique.
24
25
Le droit de s'exprimer librement est
On ne peut imaginer qu'on puisse nous
empecher de penser librement, et de former des
(416) 865-9339
(800) 250-9059
11

opinions pour ensuite les exprimer, parce que c'est
2
par la libre expression qu'on peut changer, ameliorer
3
nos institutions et que l'on prend conscience des
4
problemes qui tracassent nos voisins.
Ideas are not easy.
5
6
There are all
sorts of examples of that.
Poor old Socrates, who manifested some
7
8
criticism of the way in which the gods were
9
worshipped, he was forced to take the hemlock cup.
10
Those that have specialized in company law know that
11
that was the predecessor of the poison pill.
12
results were just a little worse.
13
concept that the earth was not the centre of the
14
universe, was something that was devastating for
15
human ego and the teaching of the church.
Galileo and his
These ideas were unpopular.

The
So too
17

18
Yet, these ideas have a life of their own and cannot
19
be ignored.
20
our society.
21
They mark changes, and often progress in
Thus the importance of the principle.
22
Yet, should there be some limits on it?
23
What of hate literature?
In our
24
wonderful multicultural society, should identifiable
25
groups be held up to hatred, ridicule and contempt?
(416) 865-9339
(800) 250-9059

1
Should the Criminal Code provisions prohibiting hate

literature be upheld?

individual on the other.

8
stand as an example of terrible consequences of hate
9
literature and freedom of religion.
It is this sort of difficult
We must be free of hate
Perhaps the Third Reich will forever
Many of our f orbearers came to this
10
11
country in order to express freely their concept of
12
religion, that no matter how sincerely held, can
13
freedom of religion justify mutilation of female
14
children or the refusal to accept life-saving medical
15
treatment?
16
in that situation?
17
What is the balance that should be struck
There is the concept of individual
18
dignity that is the foundation of any democracy,
19
particularly ours.
20
of every race, colour and religion.
21
essential element of our judicial system and our
22
Canadian democracy.
23
The dignity of every human being,
This must be an
So soon is that principle is
24
recognized of the individual's essential dignity, we
25
must recognize the dignity that must be accorded to
(416) 865-9339
(800) 250-9059
13
1
all minorities.
2
racism.
How superficial and how evil is
If you imagine for a minute that you
3
4
could not see and you were waiting for assistance to
5
cross the road would it make one wit of difference if
6
the hand that was to help you was black, yellow or
7
brown?
Of course not.
8
If you were hard of hearing and there
9
was a welcoming gesture, would it matter one wit the
10
colour, race or religion of that person?
11
not.
Of course
The clothing, religion, the colour of
12
13
the individual has nothing to do with the innate
14
dignity that attaches to everyone in Canadian
15
society.
That recognition is in your hands to
16
17
be treasured, to be fostered until it grows and
18
glows.
19
You with your training are individuals
20
who can and will make a difference in our society to
21
make improvements to your community and to this
22
wonderful country of ours.
23
You have learned that although
24
difficult problems exist they can be resolved with
25
good will and reason.
(416} 865-9339
(800} 250-9059
14
What you have learned places you in a
1
2
position of responsibility in your community.
People
3
always turn to those trained in the law, whether the
4
advice they seek is strictly legal or social.
5
with your ability and your learning of basis of
6
solutions will provide answers.
You
You are now lawyers as of today.
7
It
8
has been, for centuries, fashionable to make jokes
9
with regard to our profession that are often cruel,
10
misleading and totally inappropriate.
Nevertheless,
11
it is up to all of us to demonstrate why these jokes,
12
or most of them, are so false.
You will be members of a profession.
13
14
As members of the profession you have dedicated your
15
skill and knowledge to the service of others.
All professions are important in the
16
17
course of the history of humanity various professions
18
assume importance.
As cities grew it was important to
19
20
have those that could build the walls, build the
21
buildings, construct the roads and sewers, all that
22
was necessary.
23
with medical knowledge and skill were required.
24
The more complex the society the
25
As plague struck those cities, people
greater the need for people with legal training to
(416) 865-9339
(800) 250-9059
15
l
lead people through the complexities of our
2
complicated society.
What then are the attributes of a good
3
4
lawyer?
Our profession is an old and
5
6
honourable one.
7
its status?
I think through these attributes.
First, integrity.
8
9
How has it succeeded and maintained
Absolute integrity
that you can demonstrate from the very beginning and
10
giving what is often unpopular advice to a client.
ll
Integrity in dealing with the court.
12
compliment can you have in knowing that your word is
13
accepted as your bond.
What greater
A lawyer is courageous with the
14
15
courage to assess a situation and, if necessary, to
16
give unpopular advice and with the courage to take an
17
unpopular client, an unpopular cause before the
18
courts to ensure that justice is achieved.
19
easy.
20
It is not
There are two great counsels of years
21
gone by that can be examples for all of us;
Thomas
22
Erskine in England, at the time of the French
23
Revolution, when all English society was worried
24
about stability, he undertook the defence of a
25
printer who had printed really a very clever but a
(416) 865-9339
(800) 250-9059
16
1
very devastating cartoon and comment with regard to
2
George III.
3
the Tory party, the King and any hopes in the
4
foreseeable future of appointment or advisement
5
politically or judicially.
6
in that unpopular case and it is worth reading and
7
looking at that case for reinspiration in difficult
8
times.
In taking this, Erskine was offending
He took it, he succeeded
9
Then there is John Adams of the United
10
States -- Canadian history had a great role in that -
11
- it was 1770.

13
to keep garrison troups relatively close to Quebec,
14
they were garrisoned in Boston.
15

16
bonded warehouse in Boston.

when some 500 people
some historians allege raised
18
by the Patriot Party
came down on the sentry,
19
called for help.
20
came out.
21
The crowd started throwing bricks, the soldiers shot.
22
Three people were killed and five wounded and all the
23
sentries were charged with murder.

1
A leader of the Patriot Party that sought in those
2
days something so simple, representation in
3
Westminster before they were taxed, but it was the
4
party of the day and to take it was devastating, at
5
the time, for his career.
6
his window, statements put up on post with regard to
7
Adams the Traitor.
He did live through that, became the
8
9
10
second President of the United States, followed by
Jefferson.
Then he saw his son assume that office.
What courage it took to take those
11
12
Bricks were thrown through
unpopular cases.
13
A lawyer needs diligence, industrious
14
in the pursuit of knowledge, preparation of cases.
15
That work goes on forever.
Lawyers are the soul of discretion.
16
17
They are the safe repository of more secrets than
18
CSIS ever dreamed of, yet they are never disclosed.
There is not a family without secrets,
19
20
there is not a company without secrets, there is not
21
an organization without secrets that must be
22
disclosed to obtain advice, yet lawyers preserve
23
those secrets.
24
25
A lawyer has the legal skills to
analyse complex facts, to present them simply, apply
(416) 865-9339
(800) 250-9059
18
1
the principles of the law to them.

demanding role, but so important.
A difficult,
Lawyers have traditionally served not
3
4
only their clients, of course, but their community.
5
So much time has always been dedicated by lawyers to
6
charitable causes and service groups.
7
you as lawyers will serve your clients well,
8
honourably serve the courts and serve your community.
I know that
You are the hope of all of us, the
9
10
future of the profession in our society.
