New UVic Law alumni Benchers elected
Our graduates did particularly well in the last Benchers’ election. See https://www.lawsociety.bc.ca/page.cfm?cid=1260&t=Bencher-Elections.
Four more of our alumni were elected Benchers:
District No. 1 Vancouver:
- Lisa Hamilton (’94)
- Steven McKoen (’97)
- Jeff Campbell (’98)
District No. 9 Kamloops:
- Michelle Stanford (’92)
In addition, three of our alumni were re-elected: Pinder Cheema QC, Dean Lawton, and Tony Wilson. These, in addition to Herman Van Ommen (who becomes First Vice-President of the Law Society in 2016), make the largest number of our alumni as Benchers ever: 8 of the 25 elected Benchers.
Quite the showing! Congratulations to all.
