Note that it doesn't indicate whether she has in fact be reinstated, nor
the duration of her suspension.

According to another posting she's now an entrepreneur ... so she could
be potentially running a little close to the limb considering she's
trading on that BA LLB which is kind of misrepresenting herself as a
lawyer if she is suspended. If she'd posted as Ingrid Chen -
Immigration Consultant, that would be a little different.

This is true. From my limited knowledge, she was not.
The following seems to indicate the first part of this matter.

From the above website, it seems she is not a lawyer
Or rather she has been disbarred...is that the term?

Well, the website seems to imply she did something that called for a
review of her actions sufficiently serious to actually suspend her.

She also seems to have been involved in a drug related case before the
crown.

Unlike other Law Society sites, the Manitoba site doesn't provide a lot
of detail.

Good question.
That was my original intent...to clarify this very point.

There are court records at this website which indicate
something:

http://www.jus.gov.mb.ca/registry-
/index.htm


Do a "name search" on "chen ingrid".

There appear to be charges related to drug trafficking.
Based on this, she seems to have been disbarred.
Can anyone confirm this?
Would Ingrid Chen please clarify this?

Sureties in the amount of $50,000.00 seem to have
been involved. So it must have been serious.

Why does everybody in this forum seem to be after the throat of
Ingrid? I have even seen one of the highly respected contributors here
take on her. Sure she posts very infrequently and whenever she does,
its not very close to a well-informed comment, but then, why target
her with malicious intent to damage her reputation?
Just wondering...
