Apres sept annees de pratique a Gaspe, la premiere « femme avocat » de Gaspesie a migre vers Stikeman Elliott a Montreal en 1988, ou elle est devenue associee un an plus tard. Elle y a pratique et aussi dirige le groupe de litige jusqu’en 2010, moment auquel elle a transfere a Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt. Mme Cote a ete nommee juge a la Cour supreme du Canada le 27 novembre 2014. Elle etait auparavant connue du grand public quebecois et canadien pour certains de ses mandats qui ont fait la manchette, comme la defense des compagnies de tabac dans le recours collectif intente contre elles, ainsi que pour les audiences televisees de la Commission Bastarache, alors qu’elle etait l’avocate du gouvernement quebecois dans l’enquete sur les alle- gations a l’effet que le Ministre de la Justice du Quebec de l’epoque avait nomme des juges suite a des pressions politiques. Les propos qui suivent ont ete recueillis par l’equipe des entretiens francais de la Revue de droit d’Ottawa lors d’un entretien de deux heures dans les bureaux d’Osler le 26 novembre 2013, a Montreal. C’etait un an avant que le comite de redaction de la Revue de Droit d’Ottawa n’apprenne, en meme temps que l’ensemble des Canadiens, que Mme Cote siegerait desormais sur la plus haute cour au pays. Le moment de parution de cet entretien dans les pages de la Revue de Droit d’Ottawa n’est aucunement lie au moment de cette nomination. L’entretien retrace le parcours de Mme Cote, de sa naissance a Cloridorme en Gaspesie a ses etudes en droit a l’Universite Laval, jusqu’a son depart de la pratique en Gaspesie pour un cabinet national a Montreal. Nous l’avons notamment invite a partager sa perspective sur des sujets divers dont la pratique du litige commercial, la conciliation travail-famille, le role des femmes dans la pratique, la nature des commissions d’enquete et l’etat actuel du droit. Ce texte est le produit des efforts de l’equipe des entretiens francais pour l’annee scolaire 2013-2014, composee de Pierre-Arnaud Barry-Camu, Amelie B. Lavigne et Marie-Pier Albert. English Abstract: Suzanne Cote was admitted to the Quebec Bar in 1981. After seven years of practice in Gaspe, the first “woman lawyer” of the Gaspesie region joined Stikeman Elliott in Montreal in 1988, where she became a partner a year later. She practiced and chaired its litigation group until 2010, at which point she transferred to Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt. Ms. Cote was appointed to the Supreme Court of Canada on November 27, 2014. Before her appointment, she was known to the public for high profile cases like the defense of tobacco companies in the class action lawsuit against them. We also saw her in the televised hearings of the Bastarache Commission, where she acted for the Quebec government in the investigation of allegations that political pressure had compelled the Minister of Justice of Quebec of the time to appoint certain judges. The following remarks were collected by the Ottawa Law Review’s French interview team during a two-hour interview at the Osler Montreal office on November 26, 2013, a year before the Ottawa Law Review’s editing board learned, at the same time as all Canadians, that Ms. Cote would now serve on the highest court in the country. The timing of publication of this interview in the Ottawa Law Review is not related to the timing of her appointment. The interview covers her career and life paths, from her birth in Cloridorme, Gaspesie, to law school at Laval University in Quebec City, to her departure from practice in Gaspesie for a national firm in Montreal. We also invited her to share her perspective on a number of subjects including commercial litigation, work-life balance, the role of women in the practice, the nature of inquiry commissions and the current state of the law. This text is the result of efforts by the 2013-2014 French interview team, composed of Pierre-Arnaud Barry-Camu, Amelie B. Lavigne and Marie-Pier Albert.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
