Joyal has served as the Chief Justice of the Court of King’s Bench of Manitoba since 2011.

The selection process for a new justice began in March, to replace Justice Sheilah Martin, who retired at the end of May.

An independent advisory board reviewed applications and submitted a shortlist of qualified candidates to Carney for consideration.

Justice Minister Sean Fraser says Joyal has worked to advance reconciliation, improve access to justice and modernize court operations throughout his career.
