Jo-Anne (Jodie) Stark, B.Comm, J.D., CLC 

Jo-Anne Stark is a graduate of the University of Saskatchewan, with degrees in Commerce and Law; she is a member of both the Sask and BC Law Societies and has been a lawyer for over 25 years.  

After relocating to BC in 2016, Jo-Anne became a certified coach and mediator.  She has been a strong advocate for access to justice, working on a national policy committee to amend laws for victims of domestic violence.  She has also acted as arbitrator for the BC government for landlord/tenant online disputes.  Jo-Anne describes herself as a “legal disrupter”, having launched the first virtual legal practice that offers only legal coaching and consulting for self-represented litigants, called Stark Solutions.  She regularly presents to lawyers, law students and the public on legal coaching and innovations in legal service delivery.   

Her role as Director of Advocacy at the Canadian Bar Association, BC Branch, has enabled her to work directly with lawyers on issues related to access to justice.   Most recently, Jo-Anne established the Legal Coaches Association, a national non-profit association that includes paralegals, lawyers and advocates that are certified as legal coaches, providing an affordable alternative for self-represented litigants in Canada.
