A Fredericton lawyer who’s been suspended from practising law for almost a year is now set to appear before the profession’s provincial licensing body’s discipline committee in March.

The Law Society of New Brunswick suspended Stephen James Hill of Fredericton from practising law in February.

His hearing before the law society’s discipline committee was previously scheduled to begin Nov. 25 and was set to run for several days.
