Greatest collection of malfeasance and misconduct by a Crown in Canada's history? Arguably so. The Law Society of Manitoba, however, was more interested in protecting lawyers than protecting the public, and never saw fit to disbar him.

I was never up against him in court. As a civil litigator I didn't handle criminal cases except a number of courts martial and a few minor civil cases. From my time as a bencher of the Law Society and in general, I knew he was well respected as a hard-nosed and competent prosecutor. I've read the article and still have a hard time understanding what went off the rails here. These were all tough cases involving folks - accused and witnesses - on the low end of credibility. It's always easy for defence attorneys and even inquiry judges to find chinks and issues to pry open. I guess in the end I'll always have to say that I just don't know.

Suspended Ottawa lawyer James Bowie has been ordered to pay a former client — and plaintiff in a civil case against him — more than $235,000 after proposing she pay for his legal services with oral sex and disclosing personal details about her online after her allegations garnered media coverage.

In an Oct. 11 decision, Superior Court Justice Heather Williams wrote that Bowie's actions were "shocking" and "offend the court's sense of decency."

I was wondering when you’d post that.

Man, this guy’s spiral of self destruction is some of the best local drama in years.

That's nice to know. I'll be riding the newly opened Line 4 pretty soon.
