The Government of Alberta has appointed a new applications judge to Edmonton and Calgary.
Applications judges work to resolve family, civil and criminal matters in an efficient manner. Stephanie Wanke is Edmonton’s new applications judge, taking effect on June 16.
The Government of Alberta has also appointed Stephanie Latimer as Calgary’s new applications judge, effective on June 30.
“The work of applications judges is essential to the effective and efficient operation of the Court of King’s Bench of Alberta,” said Kent H. Davidson, Court of King’s Bench of Alberta’s cheif justice. “Our two new applications judges will play a pivotal role in enhancing access to justice and ensuring more timely resolution of civil disputes.”
Individuals appointed to the bench must have at least 10 years at the bar and are recommended through a rigorous review process by an Applications Judge Interview Panel.
There are currently eight applications judges, making a total of 10 with these new appointments.
