Asian Canadian

So I appreciate you, uh, giving that, that, that continuous look on what serving the government can look like.

And beyond all of these in- incredible things you've, you've done with your career so far, you've also been involved in mentoring, in professional organizations, the Asian Canadian legal community.

You, you did mention mentors a few times during this episode as well, so I wanted to ask you a little bit more on, on that.

You know, how, how important have been, you know, have mentors, professional communities, and identity been in shaping your career and your sense of responsibility to the next generation of lawyers as well?

Yeah, and I'm so glad you touched on this point.

It's something that personally I'm very passionate about as well and, you know, you mentioned that, uh, you know, uh, things like the Federation of Asian Canadian Lawyers or other community organizations that I've been part of, like the Advocate Society, all these organizations serve a crucial function in the legal profession and, and beyond that because the work of the, the legal profession, the work of the, the pu- these public organizations reflect the people they serve, right? And, you know, and the reason why we need the legal profession and public organizations like the government or other major organizations, um, you know, the reason why they need to be mindful of, you know, equity or diversity issues is because, you know, where there are gaps and blind spots in these things, you know, they, they can play out every day in the work that they carry out, right? So, and that can have real impacts on people that they serve.

So, you know, if we're in a service delivery profession like the legal profession where we are serving the client, but we're also serving society and community and the larger aims of the, uh, administration of justice writ large, we need to take into account these issues through the lens of having an inclusive lens and, and factoring in these issues so that we're making sure that we're delivering services that are truly reflective of the needs of everyone in our community.

So for me, I found that these organizations served a critical role in assisting me as a junior lawyer, too, when I first started off.
