A part-time lawyer in a private practice, Me Caroline Braun previously worked at the Centre communautaire juridique de Montréal for 12 years, serving as the voice of vulnerable populations for nearly 16 years. A graduate of the Quebec Bar (Montreal) and certified by the l’École des dirigeantes et dirigeants de HEC Montréal, she has consistently handled complex situations with clarity and resolve.
Driven by her legal background and commitment to civic engagement, Caroline Braun has also volunteered with various organizations advocating for access to justice. She has served on the board of Clinique Droits Devant, was a partner lawyer for the Mobile Legal Clinic, participated in free legal clinics held in the Montreal metro with Juripop, and mentored students through the Jeunes explorateurs and Maître d’un jour programs. She was also active in legal education, serving as an Maitre de stage for the Bar before being elected.

Today, Caroline leads a diverse, dynamic, and competent team united by a common vision: “A beautiful, well-managed, democratic, and safe Outremont for all.” Deeply rooted in her community, she has organized citizen marches to protect the local dog park and to oppose unpopular projects proposed by the PM administration.
