Supreme Court of Canada Has New Deputy Registrar

Mary Sue McFadyen has been named to the position of Deputy Registrar to the Supreme Court of Canada:

"The Deputy Registrar of the Supreme Court of Canada is responsible for supporting the Registrar in the administration of the Court, and in his or her absence, assumes all of his or her powers and duties. The Office of the Registrar of the Supreme Court of Canada is responsible for all administrative work in the Court and exercises the quasi-judicial powers conferred by the Rules of the Supreme Court of Canada."

She is the former Director General, Legal Services, with the Office of the Ombudsman for National Defence.

She will oversee the work of the Court Operations Sector as well as that of the Communication Services unit.

The Court Operations Sector groups together four core program branches: Registry, Law Branch, Library and Information Management (where I work), and the branch that publishes the Supreme Court Reports. The Communications Unit manages external communications, public visits and educational activities, as well as internal communications.
