Judith Wahl, the moving spirit behind the Advocacy Centre for the Elderly, has died. She was a couple of years ahead of me at Osgoode Hall, and our paths seldom crossed, but I remember clearly her subsequent activism on behalf of elders. She essentially defined and established the practice area of elder law in Canada when she became ACE's first executive director in 1984. Her work on health-care consent and advance planning was pathbreaking. As the ACE remembrance says, "Judith’s contributions to law reform and education initiatives have influenced elder care practices worldwide, cementing her legacy as a champion of elderly rights on the international stage."
