PATH Legal Impact Award

I rise today to recognize PATH Legal, recognized this Fall with the Legal Impact Award as part of the 2023 Reisman Awards for innovation and excellence in the legal space. It happened in Nashville, which is really cool. The Reisman Awards celebrate the legal industry's game changers, groundbreakers and pioneers.

Many Nova Scotians who have been incarcerated face barriers to accessing justice and advocacy that they require and deserve. The team at PATH Legal - a non-profit law firm based in Dartmouth, founded by members of Valent Legal and the Elizabeth Fry Society, and helmed by the inimitable Emma Halpern - is interrupting this cycle by supporting people who are currently incarcerated and people who have suffered from miscarriage of justice, at no cost.

Please join me in congratulating PATH Legal on this receiving this award and in recognizing their commitment to justice for all Nova Scotians.
