The regulatory body that sets the standards for Alberta lawyers is holding a reinstatement hearing for Robin Camp. That prompted an inquiry in 2016 by the Canadian Judicial Council, and Camp fought to keep his new job as a Federal Court judge. "Applications such as this are rare," Law Society of Alberta representative Karen Hansen said during opening statements of Camp's hearing Tuesday morning. Hansen said the law society is taking a "neutral position" on whether Camp should be reinstated. Justice Richard Bell, a Federal Court judge who was the first witness called, spoke to both Camp's legal competence and character.
