An investigation has been launched by the New Brunswick Law Society in the aftermath of prominent Saint John lawyer Rod Gillis’s conviction for obstruction of justice which carries a maximum sentence of ten years in prison.
The Law Society’s Executive Director Marc Richard tells CHSJ News the investigation is in its early stages and Gillis will be able to practice law in the meantime.
Gillis will be sentenced April 4th with the maximum sentence being 10 years in prison.
The charge was laid in connection with former M-L-A Frank Branch’s civil lawsuit involving the North Shore Forest Products Marketing Board.
