MEADOW LAKE – Bryce Pashovitz has been appointed as a judge for Meadow Lake Provincial Court.

Pashovitz prosecuted drug offences during a leave spent as Crown Counsel with the Public Prosecution Service of Canada from 2008 - 09. He then returned to the Saskatchewan Ministry of Justice and Attorney General, transferring to the Saskatoon office in 2009, where he conducted trials until 2018 when he was selected as an Associate Regional Crown Prosecutor in Saskatoon, where he continues to this day.

"Judge Pashovitz brings a breadth of experience to our Provincial Court in the community of Meadow Lake," said Justice Minister and Attorney General Gordon Wyant in a prepared statement to media Friday. 

"His skills and credentials as a legal professional represent precisely what we look for in a member of the judiciary. I have no doubts that he will continue to serve our province well in his new capacity as judge." 

Pashovitz received his law degree in 1995 from the University of Saskatchewan and graduated with distinction and was a co-winner of the Donald MacLean Prize in Constitutional Law. Through the 1993-95 school years he was student editor of the Saskatchewan Law Review. Since 2012, Pashovitz has been editing a textbook, Law Professionals Guide To: Investigating Impaired Drivers, and in 2019 completed editing its fourth edition.

After receiving his law degree, Pashovitz went on to work with the Saskatchewan Department of Justice as a Crown Prosecutor in Regina from 1996 to 2008.

A dedicated public servant for over 25 years, in 2004 Pashovitz received the Premier's Award for Excellence in Public Service. 

Throughout his career, Pashovitz has remained active in the communities he has served by acting as treasurer for the Pense Minor Hockey Association Booster Club from 1998 to 2008 and as team treasurer for various Saskatoon Minor Hockey Association teams from 2008 to 2011.
