I'm interested to see which direction Smith decides to go with this issue. Full discovery would be fun.

Lawyers curling league year end bonspiel was great! Our team improved our standing, and we all had so much fun. Today, however, I am very sore. Who knew curling could be so strenuous?! I'll be back next year for sure!

In the fall of 2022, the Minister of Justice committed to undertaking a comprehensive review of the legal aid tariff rate and financial eligibility guidelines. The @YourAlberta is asking stakeholders to complete the survey. Share your thoughts: https://t.co/dvIXGvZ7il

@EliasCrimLaw Congrats, although one wonders whether the decision could have been made slightly earlier in both our cases!

Hearing a jury say "not guilty" is amazing. Hearing the Crown enter a stay the morning of jury selection = happ(ier) client and a free week to work on opening my new firm!
Stay tuned for Boisvert Wang LLP, opening March 2023!

@jonnywakefield Lois Hole put out a few really good Alberta gardening books. Highly recommend.

An absolute privilege to have @Michelle_A_Mac as my co-counsel today at the SKCA! It may have been her first appeal but she presented extremely thoughtful submissions on a complex issue with a *very* engaged panel. Can't wait to see her back for many more appeals in the future!

Today, I have requested the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner to investigate the UCP's possible deletion of emails regarding their interference in the justice system.

The UCP keeps running from this issue. Albertans deserve accountability.

One must always look below the surface to reveal another's true motives. Thank you for doing that Daniel Song.

@DerekCrimLaw @AlbertaCTLA I was definitely NOT called by Minister Shandro at ANY point during the job action. Only saw him at one of the meetings. But that's ok, I really like dealing with Mr. Bosscha. He's wonderful!

Honoured to appear in a news report alongside the likes of @petersankoff
Looking forward to an official inquiry into this serious matter in the Premier's office. @MLAIrfanSabir @RachelNotley

I want to extend thanks to the many defence lawyers who suffered to ensure a fairer tariff rate. And especially to the many who led us all: @BoisvertDm, @KimArial, @KelseySitar, Shawn King, Ian Savage, and so many more. I know it wasn't easy, but it was worth it.

[DMBoisvert @BoisvertDm]

@ChineseFarmer3 @MLAIrfanSabir @LegalAidAlberta Have you been following this story at all!? The problem is these are NOT well-paid lawyers. They are small business owners trying to run at business, support staff and families at 30% less than the same lawyer in BC or Ontario, and a few other provinces. Equal pay for equal work

[Steve Smith @EdmLawyerSteve]

@MLAIrfanSabir @LegalAidAlberta @ABDanielleSmith The micro problem: people can't get lawyers, Legal Aid is putting family lawyers into criminal docket courts where they don't know what they're doing, and sex assault trials are being adjourned because complainants (not alleged criminals, alleged victims) can't get counsel.
