Activist jailed for giving legal advice forms new legal watchdog group

Vaughn Barnett promises to be more careful when helping people with legal issues now


Jacques Poitras· CBC News· Posted: Jul 17, 2020 6:00 AM AT



Vaughn Barnett said he will continue to help people in the legal system in an activist role through his new group, Legal Administration Watchdogs. (Jacques Poitras/CBC)

Legal gadfly Vaughn Barnett is back, promising to stay on the right side of the justice system this time--while openly acknowledging he may land himself in legal trouble again. 

The Fredericton-area activist spent three weeks in jail earlier this year after a judge ruled he was doing the work of a lawyer without being licensed to practice law.

He and his supporters cast his actions as a fight for social justice on behalf of people who can't afford lawyers.



Barnett is still convinced he was in the right but says he'll be more cautious now working with a group he's established called Legal Administration Watchdogs, or LAW.

"I intend to shift the focus my activity that is more clearly of an activist nature, hence this group," he said.

"My position was and still is that I have never violated the injunction. Call it a difference of opinion about the legal interpretation, if not something worse, but that's my position. Having said that, I'm still going to try to abide by Chief Justice DeWare's opinion."

In February Court of Queen's Bench Chief Justice Tracey DeWare sentenced Barnett to 100 days in jail for new violations of a 2000 court injunction aimed at restricting him from working as an unlicensed lawyer.

Robert MacKay, a Moncton supporter of the new group, says Barnett is someone who doesn't fit in to conventional expectations but has a "certain chutzpah" about doing what he can to help people.

"He is trying to do the right thing and he's trying to do it within the parameters," he said.

The New Brunswick Law Society, the self-governing organization for lawyers in the province, sought the ruling.

Group focused on activism

Barnett says he knows the society will be watching his new group closely and he figures there's a chance they'll take him to court again.

"Probably, yes," he said.

"The law society might say that I'm still practising law because I'm still making legal arguments to help people," he said.

"My response is now that the people I'm helping are people in general. I'm not helping people so much in specific cases except using those cases to illustrate larger problems. So I'm engaging in the kind of activism that a lot of people would engage in."

Barnett's new group is made up of a half-dozen what he calls "very dedicated" activists who believe the justice system isn't fair and accessible to people who lack the means to hire lawyers.

"It's basically like a two-tier system," said Fredericton activist André Faust, who joined the group recently. "It's a rich person's game. … There are people who do not have the finances, or psychologically they're not at a level of comprehending this complex system."
Law society executive director Marc Richard was on vacation Thursday and could not be reached for comment.

But, in February, Richard said the society has a committee including Department of Justice and court officials that is working to improve access to justice. Someone like Barnett "has to respect the court order, the system that's in place," he said.

Lawyers licensed by the society are subject to a code of ethics and to disciplinary proceedings, and must carry liability insurance — requirements that the society says are in place to protect clients if something goes wrong.

Faust said existing systems to help people without lawyers, like the providing of duty counsel, meet the minimum constitutional requirement but often don't provide effective legal representation.

"That's basically a production line," he said. "Get them in, get them through and out."

Not a licensed lawyer

In 2000 a judge ordered Barnett to stop doing legal work for clients. Barnett has a law degree but is not a member of the New Brunswick Law Society, which means he is not licensed to practice law.

In 2007 a Court of Queen's Bench judge added to the initial order by requiring Barnett add to any written reference he made to his law degree the disclaimer "not licensed to practice law" in type twice as large.

Earlier this year the law society took Barnett to court over two new cases.

In one, the society argued he referred to himself as a "legal researcher and advocate" for a woman suspended from her job, whom he called his "client." He asked her employer for the "legal justification" for her suspension.

In the second case, he tried to negotiate with the New Brunswick Labour and Employment Board on behalf of a friend, calling himself her "legal advisor."

Barnett acknowledged in a January hearing he was "trying to walk a fine line" and argued if he crossed it, it was because of his "honest interpretation" of an ambiguous court order.



But DeWare called Barnett "an extremely intelligent man" who was "fully aware of the scope and nature of the court order in place." She sentenced him to 100 days in jail.

Three weeks into his sentence, he applied for a "temporary absence," a form of house arrest, and was released.

'More careful now'

One example of what Barnett and the new group will take on is what they say is the poor treatment of employees at a New Brunswick nursing home. Workers who complained got nowhere with the province, he said.

"There may be legal issues involved in our campaign, but surely we must have the right to hold agencies accountable for what we consider to be legal violations," he said.

He says much of what he does will be similar to what he did before, but with "a shift from case work to activism for general groups of people. … I'm still going to apply my legal skills in all of this, as I believe I have the right to do."

Barnett, who has not ruled out appealing DeWare's ruling, says he'll tell people he can't provide legal advice and will refer them to lawyers -- as he has always done, he said.

"Unfortunately not a whole lot can change because I don't feel I was breaching the injunction in the first place," he said. "I'm just going to be more careful now."

Methinks the Fat Fred City Finest, legions of lawyers and nearly everyone else in the "Capital District" know that the "activists" Vaughn Barnett, André Faust and their blogging buddy Chucky Leblanc have a LOT to learn about ethical conduct N'esy Pas?

Reply to @David Amos: The only difference between you and these guys is they're out to help the downtrodden while you only build "cases" for yourself and whine on about it online all day.

Reply to @David Amos: Didnt your nurses tell you not to speculate like that about people out to get ya?


























Vaughn Barnett
As the person being reported on here (Vaughn Barnett), I would like to make a couple of clarifications/corrections:
1) I was not using titles such as "legal researcher and advocate" (any longer) or "legal advisor" - and the friends I was assisting had no misunderstanding of my non-lawyer status;
2) The nursing home targeted by our group is York Care Centre, and the government agencies that failed to investigate its workplace abuses (bullying/discrimination, unfair workloads, retaliation) are the Employment Standards Branch and the Labour and Employment Board.

Mr. Amos:

Earlier today, I delivered your material to the city police via their
neighbourhood place in the Capital Credit Union strip mall on Hughes
Street, Fredericton. Unless there is some remaining issue about this
matter, I will now ask you to refrain from any communications with me,
by e-mail or otherwise - and if you do send me e-mails, please do not
assume that I will read them, for I intend to treat them as Spam.
Thank you, and good luck with any worthy cause you may be pursuing.

Reply to @Vaughn Barnett: BTW DeWare just like many others was well aware of my concerns long before she became a Judge

Reply to @Vaughn Barnett: Methinks your "activist" friends André Faust and Chucky Leblanc are nervous about the fact that the RCMP took their pictures when they came to Federal Court in Fat Fred City in order to watch me argue the Crown Nobody wants to admit knowing about my concerns N'esy Pas?

the cbc shows it's anti poverty activist bias by starting the article calling mr barnett "legal gadfly".. most provinces allow legal advice when it is not paid. the new brunswick law society is engaged in selective prosecution. many people with law degrees but who are not licenced to practice law work for pay for corporations or in government administrative law, and give their employers legal advice. this is clear persecution of the poor.

Sounds like the Law Society can't stand the competition. Poor people simply don't have the same access to the justice system as wealthier people, and the Law society is as blind as the scales of justice to the daily reality of preferential treatment for the wealthy and discrimination against the poor in the justice system. But then again, the Law Society's members are doing very well for themselves, thank you very much, with the existing system. Talk is cheap, so we can expect lots more talk about 'fixing the system,' but don't hold your breath waiting for the folks who are profiting from the status quo to change it.


David Amos 
Reply to @Dallas Mcquarrie: I remember you quite well and truly believe your talk is cheap as well.

They put this Guy into Jail but Rita Godin a former Crown Prosecutor in Bathurst can get a Pediatrician to Lie on the stand with a Fabricated Testimony and not a thing happens,just bye bye ,no charges nothing. The Judge and the Crown Prosecutors office was complicit in a Crime against Myself and Children and yet this guy get 3 weeks?


David Amos 
Reply to @David Chiasson: I agree with your indignation

Trust that I made it my business to prove that justice is a myth


Matt Steele
Just follow the money , and you will probably find out why lawyers don't want lay people helping folks with legal issues . Many lawyers charge over $300 dollars per hour ; and they don't want anyone cutting in on their cash cow . Cost for legal help is the reason why so many Canadians are denied justice 


Jake Quinlan 
Reply to @Matt Steele: As I was reading article, I was formulating a comment in my mind that started with "follow the money". You pretty much summed it up. That said, are any non-lawyer lawyers going to be accountable for bad advice? This applies to many professions.
Jason Inness 
Reply to @Matt Steele: And, what makes it worse is they become politicians (or advisors in the Justice department) and create laws that are intentionally convoluted and difficult, with lots of loopholes and "exceptions", so that the common person needs a lawyer to perform work in that area.
Lou Bell 
Reply to @Jason Inness: McKenna was great at it !He and his SANB buddies created laws in the NB constitution , then made them pretty well irreversible ! And with the help of Judges to boot 1
Jos Allaire 
Reply to @Lou Bell: Not too many can even hold a candle to McKenna, and certainly not you!

It is a big club and we ain't in it. No way on god's green earth should it take 4 years to get before a judge on a civil matter.
Lawyers drag this out like it was a ping pong game. Your serve.

People "showing up to court" via telephone is a ludicrous practice that must stop immediately. Rugby huddles yes, but court appearances no? Get it together, where a Plexiglas faceshield if you're that scared, your honours.

This is COMPLETELY unacceptable.

Reply to @Justin Gunther: I don't proofread on hte BCB because it's often not worth my time and I have other thigns to do. You figure out what I mean by that.

Reply to @Justin Gunther: FYI I had a hearing in Federal Court in Fat Fred City byway of the telephone Trust that I used it to my advantage much the Crown's chagrin. Download and listen to it sometime Methinks you must know how to find my work by now N'esy Pas?
Bill Vasseur
I like that line , Dept. of Justice & Law Society have " a committee to improve access to Justice", Why is there even a problem in accessing justice in the first place?

Reply to @Bill Vasseur: All animals are equal. But some are more equal than others.

Reply to @John Grail: Methinks that depends on time and location For instance bugs eat beached whales N'esy Pas?
