Perspectives from practice

Perspectives shaped by practice.

These reflections are informed by my experience in practice. Bencher responsibilities must always be exercised independently in the public interest.

Personal injury · Care-First

Protecting access to courts

Reform must be considered alongside injured Albertans’ legal rights, accountability and access to independent courts. I believe the Law Society should be part of discussions affecting access to justice.

Criminal defence · Conflict rules

Ethical walls and access to counsel

Confidentiality and loyalty are essential. Genuinely effective ethical walls and independent office-sharing arrangements deserve practical review so unnecessary barriers do not restrict access to justice.

Family law · Mentorship

Supporting family lawyers

Family practice is personal, demanding and often shaped by costs and delay. Meaningful mentorship, practical regulation and understanding the realities of small and medium practices strengthen service to the public.
