ABOUT THE HON. JUSTICE BRUCE ELWOOD
Justice Bruce Elwood was born in New York City, immigrated to Canada with his parents, and found his home in Vancouver, British Columbia. He holds a Bachelor of Science from Queen's University and a Bachelor of Laws from the University of British Columbia. He was called to the Bar of British Columbia in 1993.
Justice Elwood was appointed a Master of the Court in March 2019, following more than 20 years in general civil litigation. His diverse experience as a lawyer included commercial litigation, Aboriginal rights and title, constitutional litigation, administrative law, and government liability. He had the very good fortune of learning the practice of law from some of the finest lawyers of their generation, including John McAlpine, Carol Ross, Joe Wood, Bill Kaplan, Marvin Storrow, Louise Mandell, Joe Arvay and Rob Grant. Throughout his career, he has contributed to various legal education programs.
