Constance Glube

[1] Glube attended McGill University and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1952.

[2] In 1982, she was appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia.

[3] One of the higher profile cases she heard, was for an injunction to halt the Richard Inquiry into the Westray Mine disaster.

[4] She ruled, on November 13, 1992, that the Inquiry was unconstitutional, because she viewed it as a criminal investigation that would force deponents to incriminate themselves.

[7] In 2009, the Nova Scotia branch of the Canadian Bar Association established the Contance R. Glube CBA Spirit Award to recognize achievement in law by Nova Scotian women lawyers.
