Today’s issue of “Bridges”, a local weekly newspaper published by the Star Pheonix features a story about RSP lawyer Tiffany Paulsen.  Tiffany is soon returning to RSP from a maternity leave.  Her other role, that of Saskatoon city councillor does not provide for time off for new parents and thus her young daughter Eden was introduced to city politics at an early age.  The story, including three charming photographs, tells how Tiffany with help from husband Larry Vols is managing to raise a baby while maintaining an active role on city council.

Paulsen appointed Q.C.

Congratulations to Tiffany Paulsen on her recent appointment as Queen’s Counsel (Q.C.)

Eighteen Saskatchewan lawyers were honoured with Q.C. designations for 2009.

Queen’s Counsel is an honourary designation awarded to those recommended by a selection committee comprised of Saskatchewan’s Justice Minister and Attorney General, the Chief Justice of the Court of Appeal for Saskatchewan or the Chief Justice of the Court of Queen’s Bench (on an alternating basis), and the past presidents of the Saskatchewan branch of the Canadian Bar Association and the Law Society of Saskatchewan.

Appointees must live in Saskatchewan and must have practiced law for at least 10 years in the superior courts of any province or territory of Canada, or the United Kingdom or Ireland.

The practice of Q.C. appointments dates back to 1594 when Queen Elizabeth I appointed Sir Francis Bacon as her exclusive legal advisor and roving representative of the Crown. The first appointment in British North America was in 1815.
