He graduated from the University of New Brunswick in 1940 and was admitted to the New Brunswick Bar in 1941. Justy then served in the R.C.A.F. with the rank of Squardon Leader in the 6th Bomber Group Control in England during World War II. Following discharge, he remained on service stationed in Montreal with the Atlantic Air Service, today known as Air Canada.
    In 1948, Justy moved with his family to Calgary where he articled and was admitted to the Alberta Bar. For the next 20 years, Justy practised first in the firm of Justason and Mason, which later became Justason, Mason, Lamarsh and Kryczcka. Justy maintained a general civil practice and also acted as an agent of the Attorney General, carrying out the duties of Crown Counsel in criminal law.
    In 1957, Justy was appointed Queen's Counsel, and in 1968 he was appointed to the Provincial Court of Alberta where he presided until his retirement in 1983. The firm he founded in 1958 continues today under the name of Miles Davison LLP. Following Justy's judicial appointment, seven lawyers from his firm have been appointed to the Bench.
    Justy spent his retirement years, until his death on February 3, 2004, at his home "Dalriada" in Harvie Heights in the Canadian Rocky Mountains he loved so dearly. In memory of Justy, I very recently had the honour of resenting to the University of Calgary Faculty of Law, on behalf of Justy's family, Alistair Justason and wife Linda, his barrister's gown and Queen's Counsel's gown and waistcoat, for use in advocacy and mooting programs.
