Alice is a litigator at Ross Nasseri LLP, developing a broad civil, commercial, and regulatory practice.
Alice summered and articled at the firm, where she assisted on a wide range of litigation matters, appeared before the Superior Court of Justice, and secured four reported civil and regulatory decisions.
A graduate of the University of Toronto Faculty of Law, Alice’s interest in oral advocacy began with her first-year mooting experience and continued to grow throughout law school. She received course prizes in Wills & Estate Planning and in Perspectives on Civil Litigation, Procedure & Professionalism, and competed in the Walsh Family Law Negotiation Competition, where she and her partner won Best Negotiation Plan.
During law school, she developed strong research and writing skills through her volunteer work with Downtown Legal Services and the Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers. In her first year, she was awarded the Lenczner Slaght Advocacy Internship, which led to a summer position at the Barbra Schlifer Commemorative Clinic.
Prior to law school, Alice graduated from Queen's University with a B.A. (Honours) in Mathematics and Psychology, along with a Certificate in Law. During a gap year, she completed a parliamentary internship with the Honourable Senator Yonah Martin and was inspired by the Senator’s dedication to the Korean-Canadian community. At U of T Law, Alice served as Co-President of the Korean Law Students' Association (U of T Chapter) in its inaugural year and was recently awarded a scholarship from the Korean Canadian Scholarship Foundation.
Outside of school, Alice has volunteered with HanVoice, Canada’s largest North Korean human rights organization, for the past five years. She currently serves as Secretary of the HanVoice Executive Committee.
