Marie Cossette to give a presentation on International Women's Day

To mark the occasion of International Women's Day, the Quebec Bar and its Committee on Women in the Legal Profession are organizing a luncheon conference featuring Marie Cossette, a lawyer in the Montréal office of Langlois Kronström Desjardins. The theme of Marie's presentation will be "How to identify invisible barriers for women in the legal profession".
Marie Cossette is one of very few women to have acted on more than one occasion as legal counsel for commissions of inquiry (the Poitras, Gomery and Johnson commissions). Her last presentation to the Montréal Bar's Committee on Women in the Legal Profession drew 245 attendees.

This luncheon conference will take place at the Palace-Royal Hotel in Québec City on March 8 from 11:45 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. This event is approved by the Quebec Bar for continuing legal education credit.

The call for tenders was for the installation of an IP telephone system and the upgrading of IT systems. The plaintiff sought an interlocutory injunction to suspend performance of the contract, which had been awarded to our client, the lowest bidder.
