This month, the Chair of Canada's Military Police Complaints Commission (MPCC), Tammy Tremblay, announced that our very own friend and colleague, Dr. Pascal Levesque, has joined the MPCC as a Part-Time Member. As many contributors and readers of the Global Military Justice Reform Blog are likely aware, Dr. Levesque is an accomplished scholar and lawyer. He served as a legal officer in the Canadian Forces for 15 years, serving in a number of roles. His LLM thesis examined the celerity of Canada's court martial system and his PhD was published as: Frontline Justice: The Evolution and Reform of Summary Trials in the Canadian Armed Forces (Montreal: McGill-Queen’s University Press, 2020).
Dr. Levesque has practiced law for over 30 years and served as chair of the Advisory Committee on Criminal Law of the Barreau du Québec from 2017 to 2020. Dr. Levesque will bring his knowledge, skill, and integrity to the MPCC, further reinforcing a statutory tribunal created to help ensure integrity and competence in military policing in Canada.
