Kayla Tink
Kayla M. Tink obtained a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in political science with a concentration in public affairs and policy analysis and a minor in French from Carleton University. Upon her graduation, she was awarded a Senate Medal for Outstanding Academic Achievement. She then earned both a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) and a Bachelor of Civil Law (B.C.L.) from McGill University’s renowned dual-degree program in law.
Kayla has always been passionate about remedying injustices and advocating on behalf of individuals whose rights have been compromised. In fact, a highlight of Kayla’s time at McGill’s Faculty of Law was her work with Innocence McGill, a legal clinic dedicated to investigating claims of wrongful convictions and raising awareness about miscarriages of justice. In her final year of law school, Kayla had the honour of serving as the co-executive director of the clinic. Throughout her time at McGill, she was also a member of the executive team of Criminal Law McGill, a club devoted to bringing criminal law-centered events and opportunities to the Faculty of Law.
Kayla is particularly interested in how rights, defences, and immunities operate and intersect in criminal law and beyond. While a law student, Kayla had the unique opportunity of having an article she wrote on the legal immunity of parliamentary privilege be published in an academic journal; the article included case studies involving allegations of criminal conduct and their implications. Kayla’s education and insight give her the ability to provide a thorough and well-rounded defence for any case.
Kayla never ceases to fight for her clients. She works relentlessly to achieve the best possible results in every case. Kayla is a member of the Criminal Lawyers’ Association and the Osgoode Society.
