Race and Religion in the Early Career of Charles Fitzpatrick
|
| Abstract |
Charles Fitzpatrick (1851-1942), a Quebec City lawyer and politician, acted as chief defence counsel in Louis Riel's 1885 trial for leading the Northwest Rebellion. Fitzpatrick entered politics in 1890, winning his election to the Quebec Legislative Assembly for Quebec County electoral district. He was re-elected in 1892, but resigned in June 1896 to enter federal politics. He was elected under the Liberal banner to the House of Commons for Quebec County in the 1896 election. He served as Solicitor General of Canada from 1896 to 1902, and as Minister of Justice from 1902 until 1906. He was appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada, a position he served until 1918 when he was appointed the Lieutenant Governor of Quebec.
