Henri Kélada
-Born in Alexandria, Egypt, of an Egyptian father and an Italian mother, Me Henri Kélada completed his primary and secondary education with the Christian Brothers and obtained his law degree in 1950 from Cairo University, where he completed his doctoral studies with a DES in public law and a DES in private international law. He continued his studies in political science at the American University in Cairo and at the Institute of World Affairs in Twin Lakes, Connecticut, USA. He was a doctoral student in law at Université Paris X, Nanterre, Paris, France.
In the province of Quebec (Canada), Mr. Kélada obtained a teaching certificate from the Ministry of Education, with great distinction, after completing courses at the École normale Laval, now the Faculté des sciences de l'Éducation at Université Laval. To meet the demands of the Quebec Bar, Mr. Kélada continued his studies at Université Laval's Faculty of Law, where he obtained a second law degree in 1973 and was hired as a teaching assistant. He was admitted to the Quebec Bar on February 28, 1974, after articling with the Berthiéville firm Lacroix et Sylvestre.
In his teaching career, Mr. Kélada taught at the CECM, at the Université de Sherbrooke's Faculty of Education, at the École de formation professionnelle du Barreau du Québec, then directed by Me Micheline Sasseville and Me Renée St-Pierre, and for a quarter century at Collège Ahuntsic in the Legal Techniques program, which he had set up in 1972 at the joint request of the Ministère de la Justice and the Ministère de l'Éducation. In 1993, when the new Civil Code of Quebec was adopted in 1994, Mr. Kélada gave courses to Montreal lawyers on behalf of the Quebec Bar.
As a lawyer, Mr. Kélada has pleaded before all Quebec courts. In particular, he pleaded before the Supreme Court of Canada in a case that made headlines from coast to coast and aroused contradictory passions. Every law textbook still deals with it!
Elected President of the Barreau de l'Abitibi-Témiscamingue in April 2004, he has always taken an interest in the work of the Barreau du Québec, and has notably sat on the Committee on Civil Procedure. Since 2004, he has launched the publication of the Quid novi? journal of the Barreau de l'Abitibi-Témiscamingue, of which he is editor-in-chief! In 2018, he received the designation Ad.E. from the Quebec Bar. From the Latin Advocatus Emeritus!
