F Kenneth Walton obtained his law degree from the University of Saskatchewan in 1972. He was called to the Saskatchewan Bar in 1973 and to the BC Bar in 1975. Save a year with the BC Department (as it then was) of the Attorney General, Ken has been in private practice throughout his career, in Victoria since 1975. At one time or another, Ken has done almost every aspect of courtroom work, plus some selected solicitors work mostly in Wills and Estates.
Ken served on the Victoria Bar Association in the late 1980s. An elected member of CBA Council this year, Ken was the Victoria Wills and Trusts Section Chair in 2003-04. Ken has sometimes been a CLE lecturer in the area of ICBC Part 7 no-fault benefits. He has written articles for the Verdict on, among other things, experts’ fees and Canada Pension Plan Long Term Disability.
Ken comes to serve his fellow practitioners from a lengthy history of community service with Kinsmen, Rotary, K-40, the Y, Goodwill, and the board of an elder home.
Ken hopes to help us all by promoting the interests of lawyers, a profession of which he feels privileged to be a member. |
