Ever since his law school days, and throughout an extraordinary legal career that has included influential political appointments, international aid work and community outreach, Aly Alibhai ’90 has sought to fill a noble role in society — the lawyer as instrument of social change.
After graduating at the top of his Windsor Law class and articling with the prestigious Court of Appeal for Ontario, Alibhai accepted a promising position as an associate for a “blue chip” Bay Street law firm.
Two years later, feeling “not completely enthralled” with double-digit hours mostly behind a desk, Alibhai shifted his energies to the political campaign of one of his firm’s senior partners. It was a smart move. The partner won a seat in Parliament and Alibhai was thrilled to be part of something that could change people’s lives for the better.
