STEPHEN GRANT: If you really dig, you can find
out that, years ago, Sheila was a folk singer. She was also a
motorcycle rider. As well, on her CV she has a list of practice
areas in which she has engaged: class actions, corporate
restructuring, defamation, intellectual property. She doesn't
mention the fact she also does family law. She and I have
co-counselled on a couple of cases that are not found in her
resumé, but I'm here to tell the tale. Lawyers like to
talk about other lawyers, and particularly the great lawyers.
Sheila and I have seen some great lawyers over the course of our
careers, and I must say she is the real deal.
How did this happen?
SHEILA BLOCK: When I was coming through school,
I didn't want to be a nurse, and I didn't particularly want
to be a teacher. I thought, maybe I could be a social worker or a
lawyer. It occurred to me, when I found out you could draft wills
and do real estate deals, that you wouldn't actually have to
speak in public
