In a remarkable glimpse of her life inside the Supreme Court, Rosalie Abella explains to Paul Wells the history and significance of what hangs on the walls of her office
Is all of this stuff for you? Or is it for visitors?It’s for me. And it started in the family court, where I didn’t have a lot of visitors. And, by the way, where I never had family pictures, because when I did have lawyers come in, and the job involved painful decisions about families, I didn’t want pictures of my own kind of shining out, in contrast to what we were dealing with. Until I got to the Supreme Court, I don’t think I ever had pictures of my kids or my family.
It wasn’t what you expect to see in a judge’s office. But what you do expect to see in a judge’s office is what makes the judge comfortable working in that office. Some people need nothing. If you went to [my husband] Itchie’s office, you wouldn’t have been able to find any floor to step on because there are books everywhere. Just books. But for me, it’s always been something that relaxes my brain, and I look up and smile and feel happier.Peruse Justice Abella’s office above.
