Catherine Carlson was appointed to the Provincial Court of Manitoba on November 23, 2006. [1]

Carlson studied at the University of Manitoba Faculty of Law.[2][3] During her first year of law school, she won the Miss Manitoba 1983 beauty pageant.[2] After graduating in 1986, she worked with the Winnipeg law firm of Aikins, MacAulay & Thorvaldson, where she mainly practiced family law.[2] In 2005, she began working with Justice Canada in the field of residential school claims and Aboriginal law services.[2]

In 2012, Carlson sentenced ice hockey coach Graham James to two years imprisonment for the sexual abuse of hockey player Theo Fleury and his cousin Todd Holt.[4][5] Several media commentators considered the sentence inadequate,[5][4][6][7] and after an appeal,[8][9] it was increased to five years.[10]
