Alberta law society to hold sanction hearing for former justice minister Kaycee Madu

Feb 3, 2025 | 8:34 AM

Alberta’s law society is to hold a hearing to sanction former provincial justice minister Kaycee Madu.

Madu was found guilty of misconduct last year when, as justice minister in 2021, he phoned Edmonton’s police chief after receiving a traffic ticket.

Madu told a hearing last year he didn’t call Chief Dale McFee about the ticket, but was looking for reassurance that he wasn’t being racially profiled or illegally surveilled.

A panel of law society members determined that while Madu didn’t ask McFee to do anything about the ticket, he did try to use his position of power to influence a personal issue.
