Your Honour by Pat Goddard is the story of Percy Marshall, lawyer, judge, husband, father, and community leader, and his challenges and accomplishments, which spanned decades of change in Alberta, a province he dearly loved.

Excerpt from Your Honour by Pat Goddard:

โ€œIn 1956, Percy joined Gordon Embury to form Embury and Marshall in a practice on Whyte Avenue in Edmonton. It was a partnership that lasted nearly 20 years, and a sharp contrast to his earlier experience working with Don Cormie at Cormie Kennedy for the monthly salary of $225.00 per month.

Percy left soon after Christmas after Don Cormie had announced that he couldnโ€™t decide whether to give his legal staff a $50.00 bonus for Christmas or increase their salary by $5.00 per month. Cormieโ€™s attempt at generosity fell flat. Percy took a risk and left Cormie Kennedy to join Embury. It was a serious risk for a young lawyer with a wife and two small children to support, but a risk that eventually worked to his advantage.

During the years working with Gordon Embury, Percy honed his skills in the courtroom defending clients as Gordon Embury wouldnโ€™t, for some unknown reason, go to court.

During this time, the family lived in the Goldbar area of Edmonton where he attended St. Augustine of Canterbury Anglican Church serving in a range of capacities, including several years on the Vestry.โ€
