description: "William Ian Corneil Binnie is a former puisne justice of the Supreme Court of Canada, serving from January 8, 1998 to October 27, 2011. Of the justices appointed to the Supreme Court in recent years, he is one of the few appointed directly from private practice. On his retirement from the Court, he was described by The Globe and Mail as \"arguably the country's premier judge\", by La Presse as \"probably the most influential judge in Canada of the last decade\" and by the Toronto Star as “one of the strongest hands on the court.”"
