This work has reinforced for me that effective regulation must be fair to lawyers, proportionate to risk and worthy of the public’s trust.
Risk-proportionate regulation is explicit. A specific view on the burdens of smaller practices is not.

I have always believed that lawyers have a responsibility to contribute to the communities we serve, and I have acted on that belief as an articling principal, a mentor to students and young lawyers, a pro bono volunteer and a community board member.
The candidate explicitly connects a professional-service belief to supervision and mentoring at entry and early-career stages.
