The Faculty of Law mourns the passing of William Everett Code, Q.C. (1932-2016).
Mr. Code, a former bencher and president of the Law Society of Alberta, attended the University of Alberta where he graduated with a BA in 1953 and a LLB in 1956. During his distinguished legal career, Mr. Code practiced at Fenerty, before forming Code Hunter with Alan D. Hunter in 1971. Mr. Code was the court-appointed inspector into the business and legal affairs of the Principal Group, a legal proceeding that came to be known as the Code Inquiry (1987-89).
Mr. Code will be missed by his family and many friends and colleagues. In lieu of flowers, the Code family encourages donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Alberta.
