Lisa Bildy graduated from Western Law School in 1993. She practiced as a trial lawyer with a small litigation firm before an unexpected hiatus to raise and homeschool her sons. Taking the road less travelled seems to have served her well. On her return to the full-time practice of law, she challenged the Law Society of Ontario's compelled Statement of Principles. Believing it was not for a regulator to dictate lawyers’ personal principles, she led a successful campaign, known as StopSOP, to elect to the law society a slate of lawyers who were committed to repealing this new requirement. She then worked at the Calgary-based Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms as a staff lawyer, beginning in 2019, before striking out on her own in the fall of 2021 to further the cause of defending civil liberties and individual freedoms in Canada.
