About
A little support from the Nunavut Law Foundation helped put Marie Belleau through law school and last year helped launch her legal career in Iqaluit. Admitted to the Nunavut bar just last September, Belleau is the law foundation’s youngest board member. Belleau’s knowledge of law also bridges two worlds — common law, as practiced in Nunavut and Ontario, and civil law, practiced in Quebec.

“Having gone through that recently, I know how expensive it can be to get yourself through law school, and articling, the bar exams and those kinds of things,” she laughs.
She earned her civil law degree at Université Laval in Quebec City, followed by a common law degree at the University of Ottawa. She is a member of both the Ontario and Nunavut bars.
