He is mixed Anishinaabe and a member of Nipissing First Nation, as well as a graduate of Osgoode Hall Law School. During his time there, he represented Osgoode at the Kawaskimhon Moot in Victoria and participated in the Intensive Program in Indigenous Lands, Resources & Governments. He was also Co-Chair of the Osgoode Indigenous Students’ Association for the 2022/2023 school year.
Justin was motivated to attend law school by his desire to work with Indigenous communities and focus on Indigenous rights law. Before Osgoode, Justin attended Trent University for both a BA in Political Studies and MA in Canadian Studies & Indigenous Studies, where he researched the Indian Act's place within the context of over-incarceration.
He’s looking forward to learning more during his time articling at the firm.
