The Government of Saskatchewan is pleased to announce that Inez J. Cardinal, Q.C. has been appointed a judge of the Provincial Court in Melfort. Judge Cardinal will work temporarily in Meadow Lake until November 2012 and will then be based permanently in Melfort.

Judge Cardinal received her Diploma in Renewable Resources Technology in 1981 from the Kelsey Institute of Applied Arts and Sciences and her Bachelor of Laws in 1990 from the University of Saskatchewan. She articled with the Ministry of Justice and Attorney General in Regina.

She has been the designated prosecutor for environmental offences in Saskatoon since 2006.

Since 2000, Judge Cardinal has been a sessional lecturer in the areas of Human Justice and Indigenous Studies with the First Nations University of Canada at its Northern Campus in Prince Albert. She has been an active member of and presenter for the Canadian Bar Association at the local, provincial and national level.
