I am a retired litigation lawyer with over 45 years of experience in constitutional, environmental and energy law issues. I have appeared at all levels of court including the Supreme Court of Canada, and in every Canadian province. I have been invited as a guest lecturer at almost all of the law schools in Canada. I am also the author of over 100 legal articles and a law book, and have been an adjunct faculty member at four Canadian law schools.
Since retirement I have written numerous articles published in newspapers, think tank publications and law journals as well as this blog. I have also appeared in several TV and radio interviews, and testified as an expert witness before committees of the Canadian Senate and House of Commons.
