Curriculum Vitae

I have obtained a Bachelor of Arts, and Masters of Law at York University. I have graduated with a JD/LLB from Queens' University (Kingston) and am completing my PhD degree at Osgoode Hall Law School. My work as a criminal lawyer, and my research about the issues faced by American citizens and civil forfeiture enforcement led to me explore the impact of provincial forfeiture statutes.

Research

My research project is a critical analysis of provincial non-criminal asset (civil) forfeiture statutes as part of a growing number of hybrid civil/criminal laws that deputize civilians to control criminal conduct.
