Nova Scotia lawyer Adam Rodgers has been given three additional months to practise law before he must begin serving a one-year suspension for professional misconduct.
Rodgers was found guilty by a disciplinary committee of the Nova Scotia Barristers' Society that looked into allegations surrounding the collapse of Rodgers's old law firm, Boudrot Rodgers.
The firm was shut down in October 2018 after it was learned one of the partners, Jason Boudrot, had been stealing from clients' trust accounts.
