An elementary school teacher before becoming a lawyer, Judy moved from Knowlton, Quebec to Alberta in 1974. She practiced law in Alberta, primarily at the nexus of water and municipal law, and is now retired. With her Master of Laws and Doctor of Philosophy proudly displayed on her ego wall, she sits quietly and writes. Judy lives in Cochrane, Alberta with her husband of over 50 years, where she served on town council, and was once even the mayor! She has two grown children, a daughter-in-law, a son-in-law, and two grandsons. Life is great!
