Cranbrook judge, Mandy Klein, has been appointed to the Provincial Courts.
Judge Klein, who has practiced law for over 16 years, will begin her term as a provincial judge on April 29.
“She began her career in Manitoba, working as an articling student for Legal Aid in the areas of family, criminal, child protection and poverty law,” said B.C. officials.
“After being called to the bar in 2007, she worked as a criminal defence counsel with a focus on child protection matters and as Crown counsel for the Manitoba Prosecution Service.”
Judge Klien later moved and began practicing law in Cranbrook.
“In 2017, Klein joined the B.C. Prosecution Service as a Crown counsel in Cranbrook, becoming the administrative Crown counsel in 2019,” said B.C. officials.
“In this role, Klein worked with Indigenous leadership to develop effective and appropriate ways to bring the community’s voice to the court process in the East Kootenays.”
