The first Black lawyer to set up practice in Toronto, Ethelbert Lionel Cross was a journalist before he studied law at Dalhousie in Halifax and then Osgoode Hall. Cross had a mostly criminal practice. He became famous as a critic of racism and official tolerance of illegal Klu Klux Klan activities. In Oakville in 1930, Klan members held fiery demonstrations and terrorized an Oakville couple, a Black man named Ira Johnson and a white woman named Isabella Jones. Cross gathered support from Jewish groups and trade unions and galvanized public opinion to force the authorities to take action. The resulting court case was the first prosecution of its kind in Canada and ended in a conviction. Despite this success, as Susan Lewthwaite notes, Cross remained an outsider within the profession because of his race, origins, marginal clients, and social activism. In 1937, he was disbarred from the Law Society for appropriating client's funds.

By 1933, Powley was living in Winnipeg, "engaged in a coal business," and no longer practising, like many of the first generation of women lawyers, including Mabel Penery French.
Mehr was disbarred by the Law Society of Upper Canada in 1954 for "conduct unbecoming a barrister and solicitor" – he kept funds that belonged to his client, the government of Nationalist China, because, Mehr stated, the monies were owed to him. The Law Society's decision to disbar him was twice upheld in court, but Mehr appealed his case to the Supreme Court of Canada. He argued that the proceedings of the Discipline Committee deciding his status were unfair. The Supreme Court agreed, Sam Mehr was reinstated, and the Law Society began to formalize its discipline hearings. Since 1955, only Law Society Discipline Committee members who hear the evidence are qualified to take part in discipline decisions that affect the careers of Ontario lawyers.

1970) was a case heard before the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in 1970. It is an important case in studying the impact of the Bennett Amendment on Chapter VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, helping to define the limitations of equal pay for men and women. In its rulings, the court determined that a job that is "substantially equal" in terms of what the job entails, although not necessarily in title or job description, is protected by the Equal Pay Act. An employer who hires a woman to do the same job as a man but gives the job a new title in order to offer it a lesser pay is discriminating under that act.

William Taylor was the son of Jonathan Taylor and wife Catherine. He is thought to have been born around 1722/25 in Bertie County, NC.

If you look at the Mosely Map of 1733, this land would have been adjacent to the Tuscarora Indian Town named “Resootikeh. ”. This was also close to the home of James Castellaw. In fact James Castellaw witnessed a Power of Attorney for Jonathan Taylor in 1728.
According to his will, he lived on the “Kesia” river. This is probably the same as the “Cashy” near where James Castellaw lived and where Jonathan and William Taylor lived. According to the Livingston book on the Tuscarora (1752 date), Thomas Whitmell was one of the richest Tuscarora Indians.
Before moving to Bertie County, Jonathan and Catherine lived on Indian Creek, a tributary of the Yeopim River in Perquimans County, just east of the Chowan River. According to maps showing the earliest Indian Towns dating to the 1500’s and early 1600’s, this was the location of an Indian Town called “Mascoming.” Hence it would appear that Jonathan Taylor moved from the site of one ancient Indian Town to an Indian Reservation.
Sarah Castellaw Barfield had a brother Thomas Castellaw. Their sister in law was Martha Butler, a known Tuscarora woman. The Mosely Map of 1733 shows Quitzna, Roquist Swamp and Roanoke River and their relation to the Tuscarora Indian Town. Another Map shows the Indian Town and the location of the Taylor Family.
