Congratulations to my friend Pamela Cross, who has spent decades fighting for changes in the way our legal system works with women who are victims of violence. In 2015, she was the recipient of the Attorney General’s Victim Services Award of Distinction. In 2019, Pamela received the Lara Legge Award from the Law Society of Ontario as well as the Guthrie Award from the Law Foundation of Ontario. I’m proud to say I was able to participate in the groundbreaking work she does with Luke’s Place, an Oshawa, Ontario-based centre devoted “to improving the safety and experience of abused women and their children as they proceed through the family law process.” I designed a workbook titled Family Court and Beyond as well as an organizer that helps women navigate family law and court.
