Jasmine Daya (born February 29, 1980) is a Canadian personal injury lawyer, entrepreneur and author.[1][2]
Education[edit]
Jasmine was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, where she attended the Bishop Strachan School.[3] She graduated from Queen's University with a Bachelor of Laws in 2005 and was subsequently admitted to Law Society of Upper Canada in 2006.[4] She, then, also completed a Master of Laws degree in 2009 from the Osgoode Hall Law School.
Career[edit]
She, and her firm, Jasmine Daya & Co, specialize in personal injury, an area of tort law which deals with claims pertaining to injury to minors, club assaults, bullying, elder abuse, and police negligence.[5] In July 2020, for example, Jasmine assisted a Windsor resident—who was beaten up by a police officer—to sue the Windsor Police Services Board for $1.3 million.[6] It was subsequently discovered that her litigation was part of $46 million in active civil lawsuits against the Windsor police.[7]
During the COVID-19 pandemic, she cautioned the school administrations and governments regarding the opening of schools, mentioning that the latter might be legally charged in the event of an outbreak.[8] Additionally, she has advocated to highlight the legal aspects of the impact of COVID-19 on the elderly, citing that the pandemic has had an adverse psychological, physical and financial effect on them.[9]
Apart from her legal career, Jasmine has authored the novel Law Girl's Bump in the Road, which was published under the pen name Leia London.[10] [11] She is also the author of a cookbook series—JD in the Kitchen.[12][13]
