Craig Jones holds the position of associate counsel at Branch MacMaster LLP, where his expertise shines in the realm of public law and class action lawsuits. Notably, Jones is the brains behind "Theory of Class Actions," a seminal text in its domain. His career is adorned with appearances as counsel in notable constitutional cases, engaging in public inquiries, reporting commissions, and overseeing judicial reviews.

Before his tenure at Branch MacMaster, Jones played a pivotal role as the Supervising Counsel for the Constitutional and Administrative Law Group at the B.C. Ministry of Justice. His journey in law also saw him as a partner with Bull, Housser & Tupper.

Currently, he enriches the minds at Thompson Rivers University with his knowledge, holding a tenured faculty position. Here, he delves into subjects such as torts, constitutional law, and the ethics of legal practice, in addition to being a regular speaker on these subjects in British Columbia and throughout Canada.
