Descrição: This article considers the history of the Reading Law Club, which Toronto's Jewish lawyers established in 1947 in response to the exclusion of Jews from membership in the Lawyers Club of Toronto. It also discusses the Lady Reading Club, an association of the wives of Jewish lawyers that continued after the men's club disbanded in the mid-1960s. The article explores the social and legal context in which the Clubs were established and the perseverance of Jewish lawyers in the face of Canadian society's and the "elite" legal community's efforts to exclude and marginalize them. The author also highlights the importance of community to Jewish lawyers' success.
