Jim Reynolds is the former general counsel for the Musqueam Indian Band in Vancouver. He is listed as a leading practitioner in Aboriginal law in Lexpert and Best Lawyers in Canada and has practiced, taught, and written about Aboriginal law for forty years.

We’re excited to hear Jim Reynolds speak in straightforward, non-technical language about significant legal decisions that have had an impact on Indigenous peoples in Canada.  Jim will step back from the detailed law and give his views on the impact of these developments: their benefits and their limits.  Is Aboriginal law too important to be left to the judges?  Jim will speak from 40 years’ experience in practising, teaching and writing about Aboriginal law.

Jim’s latest book is From Wardship To Rights: The Guerin Case and Aboriginal Law published by UBC Press
