Chris attended Newcastle Law School in the United Kingdom. As an undergraduate, he studied at Langara College in Vancouver with a focus on criminal justice. Since graduating, he has continued studies in International Law.
Chris developed significant experience while mooting at Newcastle. In first year, his team won the junior mooting competition which was an internal competition for first year students. By second year, Chris was competing nationally. By third year, Chris was a mooting co-ordinator who ran the internal and external mooting competitions. In addition, he continued mooting nationally. He participated in the Inner Temple Inter-Varsity Moot competition where his team successfully mooted through a number of rounds before ultimately finishing second place to University College London in the final.
Outside of the law, Chris has many areas of interest which include:
- Improvised theatre (Canadian Improv Games National Champion and two-time finalist)
- Sleight of hand magic (no accolades), and Baseball (coaching and playing). Most recently, his team won the 2022 Men’s AA Provincial, and placed second in 2023, narrowly missing becoming the first team to repeat as champions.
