Chantal Morton is the Director of the Centre for the Legal Profession at the University of Toronto, Faculty of Law, where she develops programmes and resources for the professional and academic environments on legal ethics and professionalism. Her previous teaching experience includes: the Professional Responsibility course for the Internationally Trained Lawyers programme at the University of Toronto; the first year perspective courses at Osgoode Hall Law School, York University, including “Law and Poverty” and “Law, Gender and Equality”; and a two year secondment as Academic Director in Osgoode’s Intensive Programme in Poverty Law at Parkdale Community Legal Services. Ms Morton was Director of Career Services at Osgoode from 2001 – 2009, where her primary responsibilities in the office centre on providing support for students interested in careers in social justice, graduate studies and alternatives to practice. Her dissertation drew from the theories of Henri Lefebvre and Judith Butler to examine the ways in which women’s bodies are produced in public spaces through the operation of “law”. Her academic interests consistently weave together theoretical approaches to law and geography including postmodern, marxist, feminist, critical race, queer and postcolonial theories.
