The youngest of four girls born to a Cree father and Scottish mother in Niagara Falls, she grew up in poverty, endured harsh physical mistreatment, and was surrounded by domestic violence and alcoholism in her home—a mirror of the upbringing experienced by many of the children she now encounters.〔The Victoria Times-Colonist, August 5, 2007〕〔The Globe and Mail, August 7, 2007〕 By age 16, she was already at Carleton University, Ottawa, gravitating from math and science to politics, philosophy and eventually the law.〔The Victoria Times-Colonist, August 5, 2007〕 Turpel-Lafond holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Carleton University, a law degree from Osgoode Hall, a master’s degree in international law from the University of Cambridge and a doctorate of law from Harvard Law School. She also studied the International Comparative Law of Human Rights at the University of Strasbourg.
