Nothing better than to give back to those who are in need the most this holiday season! This year we donated to the Daily Bread Food Bank to help families put food on their table during the holidays this year - Just $1 provides 1 nutritional meal!

Another day missing amazing networking opportunities like this! Throwback to the OBA Welcome Reception last February. This was such a great event held by the OBA and it was so great getting to meet so many new faces in the legal world! I also had a great time getting to meet my fellow colleagues in the 2019-20 Elder Law section, which I am honoured to be a part of for the 2020-21 year!

Looking forward to more events like this soon (hopefully)!

My brief article for the @obalawyers Alternative Dispute Resolution section: How you can Learn Conflict Resolution from Harry Potter has now been uploaded and ready for viewing on the Gale Law Estate Lit Blog!

This article is an abridged version of my Dispute Resolution (Mediation) LLM thesis paper which looks into Bernard Mayer's Wheel of Conflict Resolution, while analyzing the recurring themes of culture, power, personality, and data and how these themes create a framework in resolving conflict not just in the Harry Potter series, but in our own lives as well.

I highly recommend this read, so be sure to check it out by clicking the link below.

I wanted to send a huge thank you to all of our new mentors who are now part of our mentor program with NCA Network! We are very excited to have your on board with us! View our amazing mentors by visiting: https://ncanetwork.com/meet-the-mentors/.

For those who do not know, I am the co-founder of a diversity and inclusion group NCA Network which helps foster a community for NCA students and alumni lawyers who went to law school outside of Canada, much like myself! The mentor program is perfect for internationally trained lawyers who are looking to help and guide our mentees (usually law students or NCA students) by sharing their knowledge about the unique licensing process required for internationally trained law students. Most importantly, it helps bring a strong sense of community to those in the field of law.

If you are looking to become a mentor for this exciting program, email info@ncanetwork.com to learn more!
