Check out my podcast with Law School Life & Beyond if you want to hear my best advice for students and how the bad system imposed on law students nearly derailed me from pursuing the path I wanted in criminal defence. Thanks to Katya Rowley and Joey Galinsky for having me.

Looking very forward to listening to this discussion on prosecuting hate crime this evening.

Leave for R v McColman granted. No one in their right mind would not denounce impaired driving, but the potential expansion of police powers to pull people over on private property is distressing.

I am very excited to be returning to work at RH Criminal Defence this summer. My congratulations, Ryan, on having started the firm 11 years ago - what an accomplishment! I am fortunate to have such a successful mentor to learn from and look up to.

Very excited and thankful to be returning to RH Criminal Defence. Looking forward to another summer of learning!

Honoured to be part of this team!

My client was released at a bail review after being in custody for more than two years. There is no feeling in the world like securing freedom.

The team with Steve @TrevorJLau and Lauren Teixeira is finally up at rhcriminaldefence.com/our-team/. Check out their bios. I am very lucky to get to work with them.

I could not be more grateful to have had the opportunity to work for and learn from such a brilliant lawyer and mentor for a second summer - thank you, Ryan. I will miss the team at RH Defence!
