October 12, 2016

Bennett Jones' Rose Carter and Anne McLellan are winners of 2016 Women in Law Leadership (WILL) Awards. Rose was honoured in the ?Leadership in the Profession (Private Practice) ?category and Anne received the Lifetime Achievement Award.

The WILL Awards ?are presented annually to female members of the Alberta legal profession. The purpose of the WILL Awards is for the Association of Women Lawyers (AWL) and The Counsel Network (TCN) to recognize the contributions of women lawyers in seven separate categories. The nominees in each category are evaluated on criteria including vision and leadership, impact on other lawyers, mentoring other women lawyers, dedication, initiative, career accomplishments, and results achieved.

The awards will be presented at the sixth annual WILL Awards Dinner on November 17, 2016 at the Fairmont Hotel Macdonald in Edmonton.

Rose M. Carter, Q.C.

The Leadership in the Profession (Private Practice) Award recognizes and applauds a lawyer in private practice who has shown extraordinary leadership in one or more of several areas including: legal skills and capabilities, contribution to legal education and/or scholarship, mentoring of law students and junior lawyers, demonstrated leadership in law and diversity initiatives, and a commitment to being a positive role model for other lawyers.

Rose represents medical practitioners and individuals, practicing general litigation, administrative law representing professionals before their regulatory bodies and corporate/commercial litigation. She also participates in public inquiries and medical malpractice actions.

To complement her practice, Rose is an Adjunct Professor of the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry at the University of Alberta. She frequently lectures at local, domestic and international seminars and meetings for physicians and medical students regarding medical negligence and bioethics issues.

Rose is a recipient of a certificate for meritorious service by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta. She is also a former Bencher of the Law Society of Alberta.
