This award is given in recognition of the immense contribution of Harry Rankin, QC in supporting access to justice for the poor. It recognizes outstanding contributions by a lawyer in the area of pro bono work.
Recipient Darrell Roberts, QC of Miller Thomson LLP in Vancouver has worked tirelessly to provide pro bono legal services to clients, and, through his own leadership example, has contributed immensely to the promotion of pro bono culture among lawyers.
Wendy Baker says “Mr. Roberts has always encouraged his associates to take on socially meaningful work – he is passionate about the law, and is driven to respond to matters of principle, and of process, which arise in the courts.”
