Hi, I'm Adrienne!

I am a lawyer and Adjunct Professor in the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Faculty of Health (School of Health Policy & Management and School of Global Health) at York University. I am also Health Law Faculty at Osgoode Hall Law School in the LLM Program in Health. 

Over the past decade, I have had the privilege of teaching thousands of students in research-, writing-, and skills-based courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. I also supervise both undergraduate and graduate students at York University.

I bring to the table over a decade of experience with applications, research, academic and professional writing, university-level teaching, academic journal peer-review, and my active participation on admissions committees and search committees. On these committees, I have been responsible for reviewing hundreds of applications including resumes, cover letters, writing samples, reference letters, and conducted paneled interviews – I can tell you that the materials that have been carefully and thoughtfully crafted, well-written, and well-formatted stand out very clearly.

My law firm, Shnier Mackenzie Law & Policy Consulting, PC, practices in civil law, corporate law, health law, patient rights and advocacy, franchising, and provides policy consulting and general counsel services to health care companies and health professional associations. Prior to founding Shnier Mackenzie Law & Policy Consulting, I completed my articles at a well-established civil litigation firm in downtown Toronto, which specializes in medical malpractice, personal injury, and commercial litigation.
