C A N A D I A N L a w y e r m a g . c o m GRACE'S WORK IN PERSONAL INJURY LAW focuses on claims arising out of sexual and physical abuse and the transmission of sexual diseases. In 2013, Grace was the first counsel ever to be asked to act as amicus curiae at the Ontar- io Superior Court trial of the historical sexual assault case Rosenthal v. Rosenthal, where the perpetrator was a parent of the victim and had no counsel. In this case, there were difficult legal issues to unwind around what constitutes a sexual assault versus a breach of a parent's fiduciary duty. Grace is a frequent speaker and writer on sexual assault, and was a recipient of the Women's Law Associa- tion of Ontario President's Award in June 2014. MADDEN'S WORK ON BEHALF OF THE MÉTIS OF CANADA has contributed to a whole new area of law being developed. In 2013, he represented the Métis in Daniels v. Canada. As a result of Madden's work, the Federal Court of Canada ruled that 200,000 Métis and 400,000 non-status Indians in Canada are indeed "Indians" under the Constitution Act, a win that clarifies the federal government has jurisdictional responsibilities to provide services to the Métis. Madden also represented the Manitoba Métis Federation in land compensation negotiations regarding Manitoba Hydro's proposed pipeline. He is also a regular speaker at conferences and law schools on aboriginal legal issues. What voters had to say: "EKG has never lost her passion, her soul, or her dogged determination to fi ercely advocate for the victims of sexual assault. She has been a pioneer in this area of law and has represented her clients with compassion, respect, and intelligence for over 20 years. is recognition is long overdue." What voters had to say: " e work he did will change the course of Métis people and history, and how we are treated by the Canadian and provincial government."
