She is a Distinguished University Professor and University Research Chair at the Faculty of Law, University of Ottawa in Ottawa, Canada. In addition to her academic publications, Backhouse is the author of several books on feminist- and race-related legal rights topics. Backhouse is President of the American Society of Legal History, and is the first non-US scholar to hold this position.[1] CareerA graduate of the University of Manitoba, Constance Backhouse received her law education at Osgoode Hall Law School (York University), and Harvard University. She taught law at the University of Western Ontario, and has taught at the University of Ottawa since 2000.[2] Backhouse has served as an expert witness and consultant on sexual abuse and violence against women and children. She has been an adjudicator for high-profile legal cases for the compensation claims arising from the physical, sexual and psychological abuse of the former inmates of the Grandview Training School for Girls (1995–98), and claims for the former students of Aboriginal residential schools (Canadian Indian residential school system) across Canada.[3] She is a member of the board of directors for the Claire L’Heureux-Dubé Fund for Social Justice and the Women's Education and Research Foundation. She is a Founding Co-Editor of the Feminist History Society, established in 2010 to publish a series of books exploring feminism in Canada and Quebec between 1960 and 2010. As of 2011, Backhouse is working on a biography of Madame Justice Claire L'Heureux-Dubé, as well as a book about 100 Canadian feminist lawyers who entered the profession during the 1970s and 1980s.[4] Stance on national standard for law schoolsWhile a member of the Licensing and Accreditation Task Force of the Law Society of Upper Canada, Constance Backhouse opposed a 2010 recommendation passed by the LSUC regarding a national standard being established for Canadian law schools. Backhouse proposed a regulatory regime based on a "consensual, consultative" approach: {{quote|The unintended result of the new mandatory competencies is that the social justice curriculum will suffer. Elective courses in poverty law, access to justice, feminist legal issues, critical race theory, disability law and others already face difficult battles for student enrolment. These important public interest areas of the curriculum will be further impoverished to make way for the growth in the list of mandatory competencies.[5]}}Awards and recognition
