On October 29, 2014, the Criminal Lawyer’s Association, one of the largest speciality legal organizations in Canada, representing more than 1,000 of Ontario’s defence counsel, honoured their past presidents with a dinner held in Toronto.
Norman Boxall, one of our partners, was honoured as being the most recent President of the CLA. In attendance were others partners of the firm: Donald Bayne, past winner of the G. Arthur Martin Criminal Justice Medal for outstanding contribution to criminal justice; Mark Ertel, past president of the Defence Counsel Association of Ottawa; and Ian Carter, recipient of the Regional Senior of Justice Award from the County of Carleton Law Association.
