As Copy Editor at Law360 Canada, John Chunn ensures precision in legal reporting while shaping coverage of appellate decisions and law firm innovation. With roots in traditional newsrooms and 9+ years in legal media, he bridges technical accuracy with public accessibility.
With over three decades of experience shaping legal journalism, John Chunn has established himself as a cornerstone of precise reporting and editorial excellence at Law360 Canada. His career reflects a commitment to clarifying complex legal developments for both practitioners and the public.
Chunn prioritizes Supreme Court of Canada decisions and federal tribunal rulings that impact legal practice. A 2023 analysis of R v. Sharma demonstrated his ability to distill sentencing guideline changes into practitioner-focused insights. Pitches should emphasize novel legal arguments or systemic implications rather than case summaries.
His editorial oversight of submissions from major Canadian firms reveals interest in legal technology adoption, alternative fee structures, and diversity initiatives. A recent piece on hybrid work models in national firms showcased his preference for data-supported trends over anecdotal claims.
While avoiding international law proper, Chunn has edited numerous articles on US-Canada regulatory alignment in areas like intellectual property and environmental compliance. Successful pitches will highlight bilateral implications for Canadian counsel.
"The measure of good editing isn't noticed perfection – it's seamless communication of ideas."
