He practiced as a law clerk and staff lawyer to the Court of Appeal for Ontario, where he advised Associate Chief Justice Alexandra Hoy and Justices Robert Sharpe, Harry LaForme, Stephen Goudge, and Bob Armstrong.

Research:
My main interests are in the regulation of the legal profession. My research focuses on legal ethics for government lawyers and the Attorney General, a topic at the intersection of administrative law and constitutional law. I am also interested in the appropriate role for law society regulation of non-practicing lawyers, such as lawyer-politicians. I am available to supervise research in these areas and in other aspects of legal ethics and the law of lawyering, as well as selected topics in public/constitutional/administrative law more generally.
More recently I have also focused on the role of Gladue principles in contexts outside criminal law sentencing.
As a person with mental illness, I am also interested in the regulation of lawyers with disabilities.
