David is a practising lawyer in British Columbia, Canada, where he advises First Nations on self-governance and legal structures and has represented clients successfully at every level of court in the province. Outside of his practice, he serves as a Governor of the Law Foundation of British Columbia and is a University Instructor in the Faculty of Law at Thompson Rivers University, where he teaches Tort Law. His research interests bridge law and moral philosophy, exploring moral perception, moral responsibility, and the ways in which private law and bioethics address mental integrity and mental harm.
His publication, "Two Concepts of Privacy" (Computer Law & Security Review, 31(4), June 2015, 527–536), analysed the inconsistent uses of “privacy” in Canadian law and proposed a distinction between resource privacy and dignitary privacy. DOI: 10.1016/j.clsr.2015.05.010
