Background
During law school, Steven competed in several national moot competitions. He was a finalist at the 2022 Adam F. Fanaki Competition Law Moot where he appeared before a bench including former Supreme Court Justice Marshall Rothstein and Chief Justice Paul Crampton of the Federal Court of Appeal. There, he won awards for the tournament’s best respondent team and top respondent oralist. The following year, he represented his faculty at the 2023 Gale Cup criminal law moot in Ottawa and coached Osgoode Hall Law School’s first-year moot team to a win at the 2023 Cassels Brock Cup.

Prior to law school, Steven won the 2020 Osgoode Cup, Canada’s largest undergraduate moot competition featuring 120 teams from across the country. He also spent several years volunteering his time coaching high school, undergraduate and law school mooting teams across Canada.

Steven obtained his JD from Osgoode Hall Law School in 2023 and a Bachelor of Journalism with high distinction from Carleton University in 2020. There, he reported on countless local, provincial and national stories, from sports broadcasting on national television to stories at Ottawa City Hall, Parliament Hill, the House of Commons Standing Committee on Justice and the Supreme Court of Canada.

Before joining Stikeman Elliott, Steven articled at another national firm where he assisted on trials and hearings before the Superior Court of Justice, the Court of Appeal for Ontario, the Federal Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Canada.
