Judge Julie Lloyd played a significant role in Edmonton’s queer history as a community lawyer who challenged unjust and discriminatory laws, including finding herself unexpectedly arguing in front of the Supreme Court of Canada, where she was part of the ground-breaking Vriend v. Alberta decision. Learn about her personal and professional journey from practicing in a small downtown office to serving as one of the first openly 2SLGBTQ+ judges in the Alberta provincial court.
