Amherst has a new Crown Prosecutor. Vicky Doucette was appointed today by Martin Herschorn, director of public prosecutions. 

Herschorn says, "Ms. Doucette's broad legal experience and her prosecutorial skills make her a welcome addition to the Public Prosecution Service."

She articled with the firm of Clark Drummie, now Cox and Palmer, in Moncton and in 2003 was appointed an associate focusing on corporate and tax law and then turning to litigation. She has prosecution experience acting as an agent for the Public Prosecution Service of Canada.

The new prosecutor is fluent in both official languages. She volunteers as an instructor for New Brunswick bar admission courses and is active in the figure skating community as a volunteer official.
