Practice areasCriminalDisbarred Edmonton lawyer Shawn Beaver has his one-year jail sentence reduced to 90 days The court ruled: “In essence, the injunction sought to enjoin Mr. Beaver from the unauthorized practice of law. His status change did not alter or affect his legal authority to practise law. In the same way that he could not engage in the practice of law while suspended, he was equally bound by those restrictions post-disbarment. Associate Chief Justice John Rooke wrote at the time of the original sentence that 52-year-old Beaver’s “highly aggravating contemptuous illegal conduct favours a heavy step by the court. He cannot purge his contempt.”
