Personal

Community
Hamneet’s commitment to service is shaped by a strong interest in advocacy, connection, and community-building. This commitment was reflected in her various student leadership roles, including serving as Co-Chair of the Western Health Law Association, where she helped organize educational events and foster dialogue on legal and ethical issues in healthcare. She also served as Co-VP Finance for the South Asian Law Student Association, where she supported cultural and professional programming by managing the organization’s budget and planning initiatives.
Hamneet’s interest in advocacy also extends to research aimed at strengthening health systems and legal policy. In a previous role as a Quality Improvement Consultant with the Ivey-Schulich Healthcare Incubator Program, she helped assess barriers in patient care and proposed practical solutions to improve diagnosis and treatment. As a Research Assistant with the Health, Ethics, Policy and Law Lab, she led a team conducting a scoping review on how the “best interests of the child” standard was applied in legal and policy contexts. She also collaborated with Obesity Canada to examine and update national frameworks affecting access to treatment for Canadians living with obesity.
She brings this same community-minded, advocacy-driven, and solutions-oriented approach to her work at JSS Barristers.
