Congratulations to Darlene Wingerak on her King’s Counsel appointment

by Robertson Stromberg | Jan 26, 2024 | Community, Darlene N Wingerak, Lawyers, News

In a press release today, the Attorney General announced four additional appointments to those announced in December 2023.

King’s Counsel appointments are based on recommendations from a selection committee consisting of Saskatchewan’s Justice Minister and Attorney General, the Chief Justice of the Court of Appeal for Saskatchewan or Chief Justice of the Court of King’s Bench, and past presidents of the Saskatchewan branch of the Canadian Bar Association and Law Society of Saskatchewan.

“These are outstanding lawyers who have made significant contributions to the legal profession in Saskatchewan,” Justice Minister and Attorney General Bronwyn Eyre said. “Within their different areas of practice and expertise, each is eminently deserving of this designation.”
