2022 was a year of contradictions and a roller coaster of emotions. It was without a doubt the busiest year I’ve had in my career, marked by the most extreme emotions celebrating major accomplishments, but also facing serious issues. We laughed basking in the sun and struggled through in the darkness. Professionally, I marked a significant milestone and saw some new ideas come to fruition. Personally, there were huge losses as people we loved died. A difficult, complicated, yet joyful year in review. One that freed me finally of a particularly costly relationship that had dominated 2021. Some endings are devastating, some liberating. I can’t do this year any real justice, but I can flag some highs and lows. I start with the sadness and work my way up to the successes, so I can close out 2022 on a high-note, despite that the year itself ends in profound loss.
People We Lost
2022 ends with the death of one of our very closest friends, my spouse’s best friend, a beautiful soul who left us suddenly and unexpectedly a few days ago. Sadiq Mustafa, Psychiatric RN extraordinaire, loyal, loving friend, always smiling, always seeing the best in people. He recently started to paint, he was good at it and it made him so happy. The best uncle to our children. Rest in Power, dear friend.

In March of this year, my best friend lost her husband, also suddenly and unexpectedly. That tragedy cast a dark shadow over much of this year and stays with all of us who knew this wonderful man.
Another very close friend and constant collaborator lost her beloved father toward the end of this year, reminding us all to cherish the time we have left with each other – you never know when you won’t get the chance to be together again.
Mental Health Challenges
As the pandemic rolls on, the mental health crisis in the law is reaching a boiling point. We deal with intemperate lawyers, impatient and angry decision-makers, clients whose frustrations are manifesting in aggressive behaviours, constantly. 2022 ends with the violent tragedy in Vaughan, a case in point surely. COVID has exacerbated pre-existing mental health conditions and contributed to the onset of new ones all around us. The stalking and harassment I endured in 2021 likely was a byproduct of a serious mental health crisis by the perpetrators and definitely caused a breakdown in mine.
On the personal front as well, our family faced unprecedented challenges, that went beyond battling the pandemic all of us are dealing with daily and right now it seems likely permanently. It was distressing to find that our health care system and mental health care in particular, are so broken that even when you’re desperate to connect with services and get help, there isn’t any. It didn’t help that our family did not have a family doctor through most of COVID – our family doc retired just before the pandemic hit. Toward the end of this year, after waiting for what seemed like forever, we now finally all have a new GP – feels like a major win. The fact that such a significant number of Canadians still do not have a primary care physician is a massive failure of all our governments and a costly one.
In terms of my own mental health, the chronic stressors of the last couple of years coupled with a massive acute stressor this spring within our family led me to the brink of my own break-down. I am glad I was able to recognize the signs and to find the strength to ask for help. It was not easy. However, I was very lucky to get the help I needed and with colleagues who supported me, find a therapist who’s giving me tools to get through the worst of it all and improve everything generally. After taking a 12 year hiatus from therapy (which I engaged in for 17 years prior to that), I am back and it’s the best thing I could have done for myself. I also think it is very important to talk about getting help and acknowledging our own mental health struggles so that others feel less acute stigma and less afraid.
When I realized I needed to try to take some time for my own health and healing from the trauma of the previous two years, I thought I had the luxury to do all that – which was taken from me shortly afterwards, but in early June, I was still hopeful I could get a break – I didn’t in the end, but I knew I had to make some changes. This post showed I had insight into the situation and still had a good attitude.
A Crisis in the Profession – the Plight of Women Lawyers in Criminal Defence
Most of you will know that over the last few years I have become increasingly concerned about significant barriers women lawyers face in staying in criminal defence. I blogged about all this extensively before landing on the idea for forming WiCCD, which is probably the crown jewel in all of 2023, such that it deserves its own blog entry to come. However, in the meantime, you can review my thoughts on Women in Criminal Defence, here:
All of this, together with feedback from WiCCD members ultimately led me to do some research this year specifically focusing on Sexual Harassment and Assault in criminal defence. The results are unbelievably alarming. You can view some preliminary stats showing the significant percentage of counsel harassed and assaulted while practising criminal law and their reasons for not reporting any of it posted here:
On my to-do list for 2023 is following this up and hopefully finding some solutions to this pervasive and unacceptable situation, no doubt a contributing factor to the exodus of young women colleagues from defence work.
The Professional is Personal and the Personal is Professional – bridging the silos
Staffing Changes
When you run a small law firm, the people you hire inevitably become family. I have a tendency to invest heavily in training and mentoring law students and associates. I also like to think I select candidates for positions in my firm who are uniquely suited to the particularly challenging work. I made sure my associates had every opportunity I could extend to them, to publish, for speaking engagements they could handle, to appear on appeals, including in the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Canada. I spent countless hours hands-on supporting them to be their very best. My impression was that we had become a lovely little incubator of litigation talent. I was really happy with my team and proud of their accomplishments.
In the summer of 2022, some of my staff moved on and pursued opportunities in different areas of law, including things like commercial litigation, insurance defence and wills / estates and real estate. None chose to stay in social justice, mental health, or advocating for vulnerable persons. Nobody who had ever worked for me before has ever gone on to work in any area of law outside of what I call “people law” defending those with mental health issues or in criminal defence. One former associate chose regulatory law within a professional governing body, but nobody has ever gone on to work for physicians, hospitals, corporations, insurance companies or into solicitor’s work. I was a little taken aback by this sudden and to me, surprising, development.
Reflecting on these events in the summer, which did also cause a crisis within our firm as I found myself managing the workload of three lawyers alone, I learned a lot. First, I wasn’t wrong that people enjoyed working with me and with our clients. They appeared to appreciate the work was high quality and important. That being said, what does take a toll is the persistent under-appreciation, differential treatment and sometimes frank abuse counsel take and vulnerable clients face in the course of litigation from adjudicators of mental health matters. Representing those in power means getting the respect young lawyers expect and get when they act for the establishment. I also can’t pay people what they expect these days or for that matter need, especially when they are labouring under the crushing debt they amassed going to law school and inflation driving up the interest rates on those loans. A purely legal aid practice devoted to the rights of the poor means that even paying staff all I have, it cannot, does not and will never compare to what Big Law pays and benefits they offer.
In the end, it was of course, all fine. We hired new staff, got some wonderful new students and a new associate, everyone is still friends and doing well – no damage was done to any of those important relationships and the clients were served effectively with only a minor disruption and few hiccoughs. That being said, I have vowed to make some adjustments in my attitude, expectations and attachment to my staff and to be more realistic in my evaluation of whether someone is going to cut it in this work. My own personal tolerance for the challenges inherent in my niche practice area is not a good barometer of what is reasonable to expect of others. And even when someone appears to be taking to the work, that doesn’t mean they can or want to sustain the effort long-term. And that’s fine. Each of us must find our passion within this profession on our own time and terms. Nobody is indispensable but we can still miss people and remember them fondly, wishing them the best. Our particular little team had a good run of it for a few years, and now we start afresh – that’s the cycle of life and the law.
I also continue to be grateful to the professional staff who’ve supported me forever, including my legal assistant marking her 18th year working with me and my book-keeper who is now retiring after 25 or more years doing my books. I have always had long working relationships with many colleagues and have managed to remain friends with most people I worked with for any real period of time, including my former law partner with whom I continue to publish a text book annually. Lots to be grateful for.
Office Changes
In the midst of everything else going on, I somehow managed to move out of my wonderful law chambers during the summer months as well. We did not fully leave it all behind, as we retain some space there for our admin staff, but we no longer have our main offices (mine and associate’s). The pandemic has altered the way we do business, with some new staff working remotely from other jurisdictions.
I am fortunate to have other space available to me and I now work from that space as well as from home. It took some creative thinking outside the box, but we were able to figure out how to make great use of existing pieces to do double duty as home / work space. Some photos here:
Leaving an office I had loved – it was physically beautiful and filled with amazing characters in a very friendly atmosphere – was quite emotional. I blogged about it here:
Home Renovations
In the meantime, during the spare hours we couldn’t actually spare – we undertook significant renovations and made improvements to our home to allow me to work more comfortably there. This included some long-overdue, not very glamorous upgrades to heating / cooling / electrical systems, addressing foundational issues and so on, but also some nice decorative touches like renovating our bedroom and the start of a big project – de-cluttering every space including that belonging to the teens…
But let us not forget maybe the most fun thing we did on the home reno front – also this summer – we repainted the house – a purple door is wildly overdue but expected to finally arrive in February 2023. You can see the transformation of the outside of our home here:
The End of an Era – Resolution of the Stalking and Harassment by Former Cherished Colleagues
2022 was a remarkable relief from the stalking and harassment I suffered at the hands of two colleagues to whom I had been deeply attached for many years previously. Throughout 2021 their persistent and cruel online abuse of me through anonymous social media accounts, which then escalated to other means of online stalking, caused me a great deal of confusion, pain and hurt. I blogged about it here:
The good news was that in 2022 I all but forgot these people existed. Having devoted most of my waking hours in years past to working with this dysfunctional duo (which was extremely challenging), supporting them with opportunities, investing in the relationship emotionally, financially and intellectually, it was a massive relief to be rid of them – it was certainly nice not to be harassed every hour of every day as well.
During 2022 I did have to deal with one of these people directly, albeit briefly in the context of a multi-party litigation. During that period I was able to see clearly the extent to which their fury drove their actions, as I experienced it directly and personally in plain view of other colleagues. I could see the attempts to manipulate me for what they were and for the first time also saw that the one thing I admired most that had kept me in the relationship way too long, was a figment of my own imagination. You forgive people a lot when you perceive them as brilliant or talented, if troubled. That all evaporated in this case and I emptied my brain of it all. Completely and permanently.
It actually amazed me to realize the amount of time these people had sucked up, both when the relationship was “good” and when I was investigating and processing their harassment of me. In 2022 I used that time instead to support and mentor quite literally dozens of others instead. I focused almost exclusively on young women colleagues’ careers and boosted, elevated and amplified their voices and talent in ways I found satisfying, which they appreciated. I got to see them soar and succeed. Nothing could have made me happier and I am thankful the toxic relationship I thought was meaningful is now fully and finally done.
My new-found emotional freedom no doubt gave me the energy and strength to achieve all that we managed to put together this year, through teamwork and collaboration, combining for my most successful professional career year ever. Thankfully I now move on to the good stuff! And there is a LOT of it, all of which makes me feel truly blessed and incredibly supported by my communities.
Professional Milestones
A 30 year career
On the professional front, I celebrated 30 years at the bar as a lawyer. Sept 24 2022 marked that milestone as well as the 11th anniversary of my Dad’s passing. I gathered my friends and family and we celebrated and remembered together at an event none of us is likely to forget. Meant the world to me. Listening to the speeches made me realize I have touched a lot of lives throughout my long career and this is meaningful. We all need to know we matter. I am blessed because I get to love a lot of people. The energy of being in a packed room all together with people who truly love and care for you is astronomically life-affirming. It’s all documented here: https://anitaszigeti.wordpress.com/2022/09/25/celebrating-anitas-30-years-at-the-ontario-bar-september-24-1992-to-september-24-2022/

PUBLISHING
2022 was by far the busiest year in legal publishing throughout my entire career.
BOOKS
In 2022 I worked on three volumes for 2023 which are either now out in print or coming soon – updates of the CCB Guide and Halsbury’s are expected in the ordinary course annually and once every 4 years, respectively.
However, the big news of course is that within a few short weeks this spring / summer, nine of us – nearly all women – produced a new textbook and it is already rocking it. It has sold incredibly well in pre-order both in print and digital versions. The Law and Mental Health in Canada: Cases and Materials is a beautiful book on the inside as well as the outside and I couldn’t be more proud of it. I hope it is used to teach generations of law students to come and to support new lawyers and old alike, whoever needs it! I blogged about the journey of this special book a lot, including about the process of collaboration with 9 people I adore, amazing women from across the country, about my special relationship with co-Author and co-Editor Ruby Dhand and more. This blog entry links to it all:

ARTICLES
I finally published the work on Capacity Assessments I’ve been sitting on for about six years, in an article that contains my acronym CAREFUL in the title. This piece took many years to get into print, compared to the few weeks to write and edit a new text book……..I’ll be using it as a teaching tool in all my classes, along with our latest book. This little article is actually a very useful and important one that I hope helps health practitioners and capacity assessors doing the assessments as well as counsel who challenge them.
I was also very honoured to be invited to contribute to the CLA’s For the Defence Magazine Edition on Truth and Reconciliation – it was cathartic to be able to share my frustration with the plight of my NCR Nunavummiut Inuit clients and the limitations on the perceived authority of the NRB. The piece is long but it’s a solid piece of writing that at least documents something that few people know or understand, but is nonetheless a massive gap in the justice system that discriminates against Indigenous accused.
In 2022 I also began a new and blossoming relationship with a different branch of LexisNexis, the Lawyer’s Daily magazine. I am grateful to the Editor who approached me to write for them and the confidence he continues to show in my ability to write well. I believe my strengths lie in oral advocacy, but I am starting to have more faith in my writing, in no small part to the encouragement I’ve received in the course of writing these opinion pieces. I have contributed articles about old injustices at the former Oak Ridge facility and the resulting damages awarded to patients, a new crisis in long-term care in Ontario, the prevalence of Coercive Community Treatment Orders and finally, a piece that really took on a life of its own – Why 55 thousand Lawyers Need Five Trees. I got quite emotional about the threatened removal of some 200+ year old trees from Osgoode Grove outside the Court of Appeal. The piece resonated with Judges, court staff, the general public and lawyers everywhere. Perhaps the most exciting thing about this episode, however, was that I got my first media photo-journalism credit this year for taking a pano pic of the gardens at Osgoode, which was featured in a different piece about the Metrolinx vs Law Society issue.

TEACHING
In 2022, Dr. Ruby Dhand and I were asked to take over an important Mental Health Law Course – the Mental Health Law Intensive – at Osgoode Professional Development, where I also teach mental health law, review board cases and inquests in the Mental Health Certificate Program, about capacity assessment and substitute-decision making, as well as CCB hearings in the Health Law Program and about forensic issues in the Elder Law program. The Intensive is an elective within the Health Law LLM offered by Osgoode PD and Ruby and I are really excited to offer this course – with our new book as the required text – starting in February of 2023.
I continued to teach Trial Advocacy as part of the program at the U of T Faculty of law – this now being my 7th consecutive year of this privilege. The fall semester was one of the best experiences yet with eager and amazing students and a fabulous faculty. Being there to teach in person for the first time in years was rejuvenating and life-affirming.
Finally, I also began coaching law school mooting teams this year in various programs. As it turns out, I have a particular knack and passion for coaching advocacy! That, in combination with some other events, led me to have a great idea (as it turns out) to start a mooting program for new lawyers who are recent calls to the bar. While law students have plentiful access to mooting, if they want it, there was nothing available for new lawyers who want to explore doing appellate litigation in a safe environment.
Collaborating closely with two other amazing women lawyers, we created a program to offer appellate advocacy training to new lawyers, focusing on providing opportunities to those who otherwise may not have mentoring readily available. The idea was embraced by our Court of Appeal and our ACJO in particular with incredible support and is being rolled out in 2023 as a program offered by the Court with several organizations’ support as partners. WiCCD and LAMDA, organizations I founded, are among those participants. This program is unique, one of a kind, honours a man I miss very much who was a role model and mentor to me among so many in the bar, and is something I am so incredibly proud of. Watch out for the Rosenberg Criminal Appellate Advocacy Development Program making a difference in 2023.
PRESENTATIONS
2022 was the busiest and most exciting year to date for panel presentations and podcasts, webinars, all manner of sharing experiences with many new lawyers, students and colleagues. Beyond the usual fare of events such as co-chairing the annual LAMDA/CLA Mental Health Law Conference, as always, I received an unprecedented number of new request and invitations for speaking engagements. Too many to set out here, but I did decide to post my CV to my blog to faciliate some responses to these invitations, which you can view here:
I’ve excerpted the 24 !! appearances I made in 2022 alone below:


Special Podcasts and Webinars
A few appearances I made this year do hold a special place in my heart and got their own blog entries.
Most recently, we have begun to record a series of podcasts and webinars to accompany our new book Law and Mental Health in Canada: Cases and Materials. Several podcasts are now available and more will be rolling out in January to coincide with the print release of the volume. These podcasts and webinars are incredibly informative, include knowledgeable contributing authors and others moderating the sessions and offer free CPD to those who listen or register. I am proud of the work and highly recommend tuning in:
In August of 2022 we recorded a Podcast for the Asper Centre’s Charter a Course Podcast Series, of which I am particularly proud. I was genuinely humbled to be included along superstar David Lepofsky and another brilliant lawyer, Stephen Aylward. This podcast has proven wildly popular, with 650 downloads to date. Supporting materials are posted and are an incredibly rich research resource.
One of the most special experiences in my career was appearing on Anita Nowak’s Purposeful Empathy Podcast series this year. I had to really think about the role of empathy in lawyering and in particular in mental health justice. I learned a great deal from Anita in the process. I’ve been massively enriched by participating in this exceptional podcast.
Another fun first was appearing as the Inaugural Guest on WiCCD’s phenomenal Find Your Niche Series, a brain-child of the extraordinary Maya Shukairy, my assistant Secretary on the Exec of WiCCD. I spoke with Maya about practising mental health justice in this introductory episode of the FYN series here:
Finally, my engagement on Twitter throughout the pandemic has reaped all kinds of rewards. There was also, of course, the misery it wrought upon me through the online harassment by those “anonymous” Twitter accounts, which by the way have blissfully fallen completely dormant since end of July 2021 — although it won’t be fully over till they’re deleted, which we will get to one day yet, but I digress. The good news is that in addition to becoming fully immersed among #lawtwitter, which has been a life-line throughout the pandemic and hugely enjoyable in affording connection to colleagues, making new friends in the law and advocacy – some things I tweeted caught the attention of people who then connected with me to collaborate on some really neat projects. “Common Sense – Not So Common” was one such panel in a Symposium on Administrative Law. I learned some incredibly valuable things here:
LITIGATION
Appeals
I appeared on 16 appeals in the Court of Appeal for Ontario throughout 2022, probably a career high – and most of those outings were in person. The last 9 of the year were heard over the course of 12 weeks, which meant going down to the Court pretty well weekly on Fridays. It was stressful but also exhilarating. Appearing in that Court is probably my favourite thing in the world.

We had some big wins, which are always thrilling, because they mean improvements overall for our clients going forward and often do also result in immediate liberty for the Appellant. We were gratified to receive some excellent results for our clients in 2022.

One important case to highlight from the Court of Appeal in 2022 was an absolute discharge granted directly by the Court to Matthew Gibson, which was picked up by legal media chronicled here:
As book-ends to 2022, we started off the year with an important case in the Supreme Court of Canada on determining who can act as a public interest litigant. There were 22 interveners in this case and our client, the Empowerment Council was among them. I had a brilliant team and the experience overall was remarkable and memorable. The result was perfect. I blogged about it here:
To close out the year, we learned just today that our client the Empowerment Council has again been granted Intervener Status in a very important case that will consider the role of Amicus Curiae, or friend of the Court in criminal trials, known as Kahsai. First thing we do in 2023 is turn our mind to that Factum – with yet another amazing team of co-counsel. As always, excited to mentor and collaborate.
You can learn more about this case here:

Tribunal Cases
I appeared as counsel on hundreds of tribunal level cases again this year. I have tried very hard to stay away from the civil side of things for a host of reasons – tending to hire junior associates to handle the bulk of the Consent and Capacity litigation. I find my criminal law – review board work is already quite overwhelming and frankly tends to produce more rewarding results. Everything of course being relative, it is also a perhaps marginally less stressful experience both for our clients and me as their lawyer.
This year my focus has been on tackling the glaring and troubling problem of long-term locked seclusion mainly in Ontario’s only high secure (maximum secure) psychiatric facility at Waypoint. I’ve had some solid successes on this front that are probably too inside baseball to get into here. But there’s one case that started a hopeful trend in the right direction, with two more following on its heels. Legal media picked up on the original decision here:
Inquests
Ekamba
In May and June of 2022 I litigated the Inquest into the Death of Marc Diza Ekamba. This was a difficult, emotional, complex case. The Jury’s Verdict and Recommendations went beyond what we could have hoped for. This case changed my life in many important ways. I hope and expect it will save lives in the long term and starting immediately. Proud of my client’s contribution and my own professionalism under extraordinary circumstances. Every skill I’ve worked on and qualities I’ve sought to embody in terms of professional and personal development in the course of my life and career was pressed into action during the three weeks this case was before the Coroner’s Court. The result:
Yatim
Every Torontonian knows the name “Sammy Yatim”. Just 18 years old killed in 2013 by police officer James Forcillo, later convicted of attempted murder. Sammy’s family waited nearly 10 years for this Inquest. I had set aside three weeks in November to be counsel on it for a public interest party. It did not happen. Got derailed by a motion brought by the officer to allow him to suggest this death was a “suicide by cop.” We do not yet have the Ruling on that motion. I appeared on CBC’s Metro Morning to discuss where we were at as a result of this surprise development.
Subject Matter Expert
I had testified as an expert qualified in mental health law matters before in the context of human rights tribunal proceedings. In 2022 I was given an opportunity to write an Expert Report with the possibility of testifying as a subject matter expert in mental health law in the context of complex civil litigation in a trial court. As with the tribunal training I have done this year for clients whose confidence I have to protect, no further details are available to the public. But I’ve enjoyed all these new experiences a great deal. It’s fun to do new things and try projects that put me just outside my comfort zone.
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT – BOARD AND VOLUNTEER SERVICE
LAMDA
The Law and Mental Disorder Association (LAMDA), which I founded in January of 2017 turned 5 in 2022. As its President, I continued to ensure members got free CPD to satisfy all LSO requirements. We grew to over 200 members, including a vibrant community of law students and new lawyers.
We hosted many CPD evenings, and continued our proud tradition of collaborating with other organizations in co-hosting the most successful among them, including join events with WiCCD on online harassment of lawyers and about representing Inuit clients.
We co-hosted yet another annual CLA / LAMDA Mental Health conference in February and continued our new tradition of co-hosting (with CLOC) six Justices of the Court of Appeal for Ontario for an informal virtual fireside chat about criminal appellate advocacy. This program has become the pre-eminent appellate event of the year and it is an incredible honour to be part of it every time. I blogged about these events here:
We know that these extraordinarily successful events will be continued through 2023 and onward, hopefully in perpetuity!
LAMDA also gave out an Extraordinary Advocate Award, only a biannual event, to Shaunna Kelly for her outstanding advocacy on behalf of Indigenous clients caught up in criminal justice.

NARPA
As you might be able to imagine if you’re still with me, this pace of work and volunteering is not sustainable or compatible with my own mental or physical health or family obligations. I therefore had to make some very tough decisions and ultimately determined not to seek a second term on the Board of the National Association for Rights Protection and Advocacy (NARPA) after serving as the only Canadian Board member since 2019. My term ended in December of 2022, but not before I was able to fully immerse myself in the privilege of working with this extraordinary group of Board members. I will continue on as an Emeritus Board member and hope to see Canadian representation on the Board going forward, hopefully forever. I will keep working with NARPA whenever I can and attending the annual conferences as I have done for years. In 2022, I traveled for the first time during the pandemic to the NARPA conference in New Jersey in October. I presented a seminar / workshop on SCC cases out of Canada where mental health was in issue and enjoyed seeing all my colleagues there!


WiCCD
WITHOUT A DOUBT THE BEST IDEA I’VE EVER HAD – AND I’VE HAD A LOT OF IDEAS!!
Women in Canadian Criminal Defence – WiCCD – pronounced Wicked – I consider my greatest achievement or the thing I’m perhaps professionally proudest to have created / founded / initiated.

It is almost impossible to believe that the idea came to me just about one year ago now. Since then a vibrant dynamic and stunning organization with nearly 400 members, 850 Twitter followers, admirers and supporters has emerged. I did not do this alone. There is a fabulous Executive team with many amazing women, mostly young and racialized lawyers, and our members work and support us as well.
It’s impossible to itemize WiCCD’s already incredible list of accomplishments here – instead, check out WiCCD’s dedicated Year End Blog here:
Suffice it to say that our first anniversary will be celebrated with a Keynote and fireside chat with Supreme Court of Canada Justice Sheilah Martin. WiCCD has arrived!!
What Brings me Joy

FLOWERS AND SNACKS





FRITZ AND FIONA
2022 cannot pass us by without honourable mention to Fritz and Fiona, the hippo siblings at the Cincinatti Zoo. Our family follows their saga on the Zoo’s twitter feed and much of my day every day goes to sharing photos mainly of baby Fritz. I have invested heavily in Fritz and Fiona merch and honestly, they have improved my mental health a thousand fold during this turbulent year. Love to all!
