A former New Brunswick justice minister has been appointed as a judge of the province's Court of Queen's Bench.
Federal Justice Minister Rob Nicholson announced Brad Green's appointment on Monday. He will replace Kathleen Quigg, who has been appointed to the Court of Appeal.
A graduate of the University of New Brunswick law school, Green was admitted to the bar in 1991 before becoming an executive assistant to the province's Opposition leader later that year.
After seven years holding senior positions in the provincial Conservative party, he was first elected as a Fredericton MLA in a 1998 byelection. He served as justice minister from 1999 to 2006 in Bernard Lord's Conservative government.
Green has also served as health minister and minister responsible for aboriginal affairs.
Green lost his seat in the New Brunswick legislature in the 2006 election that put the current Liberal government in power. He has since worked as an adviser in the office of the official Opposition.
Grand Falls lawyer Jean-Paul Ouellette was also appointed to the Court of Queen's Bench on Monday. He will replace Myrna Athey, who has become a supernumerary judge.
