Aug 14, 2026 | 1:30 PM

Saskatoon lawyer Jason Peszko is the newest provincial court judge appointed in Prince Albert, joining four others recently named by the provincial government. 

Judge Peszko graduated from law school at the University of Saskatchewan in 1999 and was called to the bar on July 4, 2000. 

 Peszko then articled with William H. Roe in Saskatoon, working in criminal defence, real estate, wills and estates, tax enforcement, municipal law, and corporate and commercial law. 

 Peszko has decades of experience in court and before tribunals across Saskatchewan in trial and appellate litigation, representing many rural municipalities and towns. 

He is a former member of the Saskatchewan Trial Lawyers Association and the Saskatoon Criminal Defence Lawyers Association. 

 “These new judges have demonstrated a deep commitment to the law, to public service, and to the communities they serve,” Justice Minister and Attorney General Tim McLeod, K.C., said in a news release. “Their appointments will enhance the strength and capacity of Saskatchewan’s Provincial Court and support fair, accessible and effective justice for people across the province.” 

Along with Peszko, Darin Chow in Moose Jaw, Roger DeCorby in Yorkton, Alexandra Findlay in Saskatoon and Suzanne Lalonde in Regina are all newly named judges.
