1919 - “… to encourage the interchange of ideas and co-operation between women with legal training.”
Laura Denton Duff and Helen Currie gather together a handful of young women lawyers and law students in the offices of Frank Denton, K.C., Laura's father. They create the Women’s Law Association of Ontario. Barred from professional organizations, the WLAO’s monthly meetings provided the sole source of continuing legal education for women lawyers. This is a toast card from a dinner held in 1927.

1915 - In Uniform
A motion passed by the Benchers gives enlisted Osgoode students a passing grade for the year in which they were registered, while third-year students are automatically called to the Bar. They also suspend the rule that requires students to wear barristers’ robes for the call to the Bar ceremony, allowing them to appear in military uniform.
