Jacob is entering his third year at the University of New Brunswick, Faculty of Law. While at law school, Jacob has worked as a legal research assistant, assisting in the development of the brand new Legal Innovation Lab at UNB Law. His work with the UNB LIL has allowed him to conduct research and writing on the emerging challenges of regulating generative Artificial Intelligence. 

In addition to working as a legal research assistant, Jacob is actively involved in contributing to the faculty and its community. Most notably, Jacob helped host an Access to Justice Summit at UNB Law, where he interviewed the Chief Justice of New Brunswick. Jacob has also served as a student intern at the New Brunswick Court of Appeal where he wrote memos and helped draft judgements for criminal and labour law appeals. Jacob holds a Lord Beaverbrook Scholarship in Law, the faculty’s most prestigious award. 

Prior to law school, Jacob completed a Master’s in Interdisciplinary Studies in Philosophy, History and Literature. He holds a BA in Philosophy and has travelled and presented at conferences internationally across Europe and North America as an artist-craftsman.
