Practice Description - Jay is an experienced mediator, investigator and adjudicator, having mediated and adjudicated hundreds of cases involving human rights, employment, education, child welfare, disability and mental health issues. She is available to mediate human rights, workplace and education matters in a fair, sensitive and effective way.
Background - In addition to her practice as a workplace mediator and investigator, Jay is an external adjudicator with the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) and a member of the Public Service Grievance Board (PSGB). She is also an adjudicator with the Law Society Tribunal where she hears capacity, misconduct and other cases involving lawyers and paralegals, a mediator with the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal, a member of the Northwest Territories Human Rights Adjudication Panel and an inaugural member of the Discipline Committee of the College of Patent Agents and Trademark Agents (CPATA).

From 2008 to 2018, Jay was a Vice-chair with the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario (HRTO). During part of that time, she was cross-appointed to the Child and Family Services Review Board (CFSRB) and Custody Review Board (CRB) as a Vice-chair and to the Special Education Tribunal (OSET) as a member. She was part of a specialized team of adjudicators who made up the Child and Youth division of the Social Justice Tribunals of Ontario and focussed on resolving issues impacting on children and their families.

​Before being appointed as an adjudicator, Jay worked for almost two decades as a staff lawyer, clinical instructor and executive director at several community legal clinics. In those roles, she represented clients, trained and mentored law students and worked on law reform initiatives to increase access to justice for low-income populations. Jay has also worked in the school board sector advancing human rights and equity initiatives, as senior counsel at the Office of the Ombudsman of Ontario and as an assessor under the Canadian Armed Forces sexual misconduct class action settlement.
