The B.C. Government is appointing a new Provincial Court judge.
The appointment of a new judge will fill the judicial vacancy created by upcoming retirements and help to address a backlog of cases as a result of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. Lorianna Bennett will be appointed in Kamloops, effective June 7.
Bennett was called to the bar in 1998 and has worked as a lawyer in Kamloops at Paul & Company for 19 years. This appointment decision takes into account a number of factors, including the needs of the court, the diversity of the bench and a candidate’s expertise.
In addition no judge may hold any other paid position or engage in any business enterprise.
