Barb Cotton, BA, LLB, founded Bottom Line
Research & Communications in 1993 and heads up
the research team as the business owner and principal research lawyer. She
continues to conduct demanding legal research
personally and closely supervises all of the
legal
research work of her team.
 Barb's
credentials include a Bachelor of Arts, summa
cum laude, from the University of Alberta
(1974) and an LLB from Osgoode Hall Law School,
then the leading Canadian law school for
women. She was called to the bar in both Ontario
& Alberta in 1980 and has practiced mostly in
Alberta throughout her career.
Barb has practical experience as a member of
the litigation department in a large law firm
for four years early in her career. She has been
specializing in legal research since 1985.
Barb has taught legal research and writing to third year
students at the University of Calgary Law School
for nine years and has been a lecturer
in the Bar Admission Program.
Adding clout to her credentials are her
regularly published articles on many aspects of
the law, in provincial & national publications,
since 1985. Her article on “Advanced
Legal
Research & Writing” (1991) is still used as a
teaching tool in the law schools and bar
admission programs across Canada.
Barb
enthusiastically touts her two-year
round-the-world trip as a valuable addition to
her résumé, as well.
Barb has happily made Calgary her home and
enjoys walking in the Alberta sunshine with her
dogs. |
