CALE/ACEJ is proud to announce that CALE/ACEJ Board member Marie-Claude Rigaud was appointed as a Judge of the Superior Court of Quebec for the district of Montréal on May 26, 2021. An official announcement of the appointment and a brief biography of Justice Rigaud can be found here.

As a result of her appointment, Justice Rigaud will be stepping down from the CALE/ACEJ Board. We thank her for her many years of service and for all of her many important and collegial contributions to the Canadian legal ethics community. Congratulations Justice Rigaud!

In recent months, CALE/ACEJ members have continued to write columns on legal ethics topics at Slaw.ca.

In relation to the Law Society of Ontario’s approval of a Regulatory Sandbox for Innovative Technological Services (see, here, for more information), both Brooke MacKenzie and Amy Salyzyn wrote columns that can be found here and here.

Additionally, Deanne Sowter has written about the perils of over-identifying with a client when acting as a family law lawyer and Noel Semple has written about “the accountability gap” in our civil justice system.
