Justice Shin replaces Justice B.A. Allen (Toronto), who elected to become a supernumerary judge effective November 4, 2022.</p> <h2>Quote</h2> <p>“I wish Justice Shin every success as she takes on her new role. I am confident she will serve Ontarians well as a member of the Superior Court of Justice of Ontario”.</p> <p>—<em>The Hon. Arif Virani, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada</em></p> <h2><strong>Biography</strong></h2> <p><strong>Justice Linda A. Shin</strong> was born in Toronto and is proud to be the daughter of Korean immigrants. She received a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) from Queen’s University and a Bachelor of Laws from the University of Toronto. She was admitted to the Bar of Ontario in 2000.</p> <p>Justice Shin was General Counsel at the Crown Law Office – Criminal, where she conducted appeals to the Court of Appeal and trial prosecutions on complex matters, including homicides and allegations against police officers. Previously, she worked as Chief Counsel to the Deputy Attorney General for Ontario, and as an Assistant Crown Attorney in the Toronto Crown Attorney’s Office. Prior to joining Ontario’s Criminal Law Division, she was a civil litigation associate at McCarthy Tétrault, where she articled. </p> <p>Justice Shin is committed to mentorship and education. She has been an articling principal and a mentor to law students. She has volunteered as an instructor for the trial advocacy course at the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Law for several years. She has been a board member of the KCWA (Korean Canadian Women’s Association) since 2018; this non-profit organization provides education, counselling and other services to support Korean-Canadians in a variety of areas including violence against women and the elderly and newcomer settlement.</p> </div> </div> </div></div> <div> <h2>Quick facts</h2> </div> <ul> <li> <p>The Government of Canada has appointed more than 780 judges since November 2015. This includes 156 appointments since the Honourable Arif Virani became Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada on July 26, 2023, a pace of appointments that has no precedent in Canadian History. These exceptional jurists represent the diversity that strengthens Canada. Of these judges, more than half are women, and appointments reflect an increased representation of racialized persons, Indigenous, 2SLGBTQI+, and those who self-identify as having a disability.</p> <li> <p>To support the needs of the courts and improve access to justice for all Canadians, the Government of Canada is committed to increasing the capacity of superior courts. Budget 2022 provides for 22 new judicial positions, along with two associate judges at the Tax Court of Canada. Along with the 13 positions created under Budget 2021, this makes a total of 37 newly created superior court positions. Since Budget 2017, the government has funded 116 new judicial positions.</p> <li> <p>Changes to the Questionnaire for Federal Judicial Appointments were announced in September 2022. The questionnaire continues to provide for a robust and thorough assessment of candidates but has been streamlined and updated to incorporate, among other things, more respectful and inclusive language for individuals to self-identify diversity characteristics.</p> <li> <p>Federal judicial appointments are made by the Governor General, acting on the advice of the federal Cabinet and recommendations from the Minister of Justice.</p> <li> <p>The Judicial Advisory Committees across Canada play a key role in evaluating judicial applications. There are 17 Judicial Advisory Committees, with each province and territory represented.</p> <li> <p>Significant reforms to the role and structure of the Judicial Advisory Committees, aimed at enhancing the independence and transparency of the process, were <a href="https://www.canada.ca/en/department-justice/news/2016/10/government-canada-announces-judicial-appointments-reforms-appointments-process-increase-openness-transparency.html">announced on October 20, 2016</a>.</p> <li> <p>The Government of Canada is committed to promoting a justice system in which sexual assault matters are decided fairly, without the influence of myths and stereotypes, and in which survivors are treated with dignity and compassion. Changes to the <em>Judges Act</em> and <em>Criminal Code</em> that came into force on May 6, 2021, mean that in order to be eligible for appointment to a provincial superior court, candidates must agree to participate in continuing education on matters related to sexual assault law and social context, which includes systemic racism and systemic discrimination. The new legislation enhances the transparency of decisions by amending the <em>Criminal Code</em> to require that judges provide written reasons, or enter them into the record, when deciding sexual assault matters.</p> </li> </ul> <div> <h2>Contacts</h2> </div> <p><strong>For more information, media may contact:</strong></p> <p>Chantalle Aubertin<br> Deputy Director, Communications<br> Office of the Minister of Justice and Attorney General<br> 613-992-6568<br><a href="mailto:Chantalle.Aubertin@justice.gc.ca">Chantalle.Aubertin@justice.gc.ca</a></p> <p>Media Relations<br> Department of Justice Canada<br> 613-957-4207<br><a href="mailto:media@justice.gc.ca">media@justice.gc.ca</a></p> <div class="mrgn-tp-lg"> <div class="news-tags" id="dtmnewsribk"> <span>Search for related information by keyword:</span> <span> <a href="https://www.canada.ca/en/sr/srb/sra.html?_charset_=UTF-8&allq=Law&exctq=&anyq=&noneq=&fqupdate=&dmn=&fqocct=#wb-land">Law</a> </span> <span> | </span> <span> <a href="https://www.canada.ca/en/sr/srb/sra.html?_charset_=UTF-8&allq=Department%20of%20Justice%20Canada&exctq=&anyq=&noneq=&fqupdate=&dmn=&fqocct=#wb-land">Department of Justice Canada</a> </span> <span> | </span> <span> <a href="https://www.canada.ca/en/sr/srb/sra.html?_charset_=UTF-8&allq=Canada&exctq=&anyq=&noneq=&fqupdate=&dmn=&fqocct=#wb-land">Canada</a> </span> <span> | </span> <span> <a href="https://www.canada.ca/en/sr/srb/sra.html?_charset_=UTF-8&allq=Justice&exctq=&anyq=&noneq=&fqupdate=&dmn=&fqocct=#wb-land">Justice</a> </span> <span> | </span> <span> <a href="https://www.canada.ca/en/sr/srb/sra.html?_charset_=UTF-8&allq=general%20public&exctq=&anyq=&noneq=&fqupdate=&dmn=&fqocct=#wb-land">general public</a> </span> <span> | </span> <span> <a href="https://www.canada.ca/en/sr/srb/sra.html?_charset_=UTF-8&allq=news%20releases&exctq=&anyq=&noneq=&fqupdate=&dmn=&fqocct=#wb-land">news releases</a> </span> <span> | </span> <span> <a href="https://www.canada.ca/en/sr/srb/sra.html?_charset_=UTF-8&allq=Hon.%20Arif%20Virani&exctq=&anyq=&noneq=&fqupdate=&dmn=&fqocct=#wb-land">Hon.
