The New Brunswick provincial court will soon have gender parity among full-time judges.
Current Moncton-based Jolène Richard will take over as the court’s chief judge in June…first woman in that position.
Five new judges were named: Kelly Ann Winchester in Saint John, Lucie Mathurin in Moncton, Joanne Durette in Bathurst, Johanne-Marguerite Landry in Caraquet and Natalie LeBlanc in Miramichi.
