DESCRIPTION:Childcare available upon request: please email Cee [dot] Straus
 s [at] mail [dot] mcgill [dot] ca\nPlease note the new start time: the con
 ference will now begin at 17:30.\nJuly 1\, 2014 marks 50 years since Marie
 -Claire Kirkland’s Loi sur la capacité juridique de la femme mariée recogn
 ized the full legal capacity of married women in Québec law. Kirkland was 
 one in an illustrious line of strong québécoise women who spent the better
  part of the 20th century advocating for women’s equality\, and the 1964 l
 egislation was a significant gain in what came to be the stirrings of the 
 second wave of Québec’s feminist movement.\nOn this 50th anniversary\, we 
 consider the historical\, legal\, economic\, and affective implications of
  marital status on the lives of women\, and we inquire into what significa
 nce marital status continues to hold in Québec today. From the ongoing inj
 ustices of Aboriginal women losing their Indian status by 'marrying out\,”
  to the Supreme Court’ of Canada's recent decision regarding de facto spou
 sal relationships in Quebec\, and on the ten-year anniversary of Quebec’s 
 judicial recognition of same-sex marriage\, marital status continues to co
 nfer basic protections and social status from within the legacies of a pat
 riarchal legal structure. The status of family law as “everyday law”\, as 
 Marie Lacoste Gérin-Lajoie taught it\, further enriches our legal picture\
 , and invites us to understand the significance of the 1964 legislation in
  the context of married women’s lived experiences.\nCee Strauss and Profes
 sor Colleen Sheppard will moderate.\nSpeakers\nMe Jennifer Stoddart\, a fe
 minist legal historian\, lawyer and Canada's former Privacy Commissioner\,
  who will be speaking on law reform and feminism in QuébecProfessor Robert
  Leckey\, a family law professor\, who will address more recent developmen
 ts concerning marital status in Quebec (on the occasion of the 10 year ann
 iversary of the Quebec Court of Appeal decision on same sex marriage\, and
  in the wake of the recent Supreme Court of Canada decision on de facto sp
 ouses) Ms. Michèle Audette\, President of the Native Women’s Association o
 f Canada\, who will be speaking to the legal implications of marital statu
 s in relation to the Indian Act\nThis event has been accredited for 1.5 ho
 urs of continuing legal education for jurists by the Barreau du Québec.\n
