David has distinguished himself in his first two years at law school, earning course prizes in administrative law, torts, and constitutional law as well as several awards for overall academic performance. Passionate about oral and written advocacy, David has been an active mooter, including as a member of Osgoode’s team for the Cassels Brock Cup – a criminal law moot – where the team won the overall competition, and he and his partner were the Top Appellants.
