known as “Jim” to friends and colleagues—was a
practising lawyer and a longstanding judge of the
Provincial Court of British Columbia. Jim passed
away peacefully in his home on Bowen Island on
February 11, 2022, at the age of 92.
Jim was born (in 1930) and raised in Vancouver,
B.C. He was the second of three children of Duncan Keith Shaw and Gladys
Weld Shaw Winch. He attended Prince of Wales High School and the University
of British Columbia, where he graduated with a law degree in 1955.

Jim was called to the bar in 1956. He initially practised in Vancouver. He
then moved to Prince Rupert, where he developed a broad practice as a
solicitor and as counsel.
In 1968, he returned to Vancouver as a magistrate, presiding in Coquitlam,
Port Coquitlam, Port Moody and Burnaby. In 1977, he took a two-year
