Clive graduated magna cum laude from the University of Ottawa’s Faculty of Law.

Throughout his academic career, Clive has earned several awards and scholarships, including the Blair Fraser Memorial Award for Journalism Graduates, the Ontario Graduate Scholarship, and the Roger Guindon Scholarship. As well, in 2023, Clive earned the highest standing in administrative law at the University of Ottawa. Alongside his studies, Clive has had the distinct privilege of serving in various roles on Parliament Hill for a decade. As Legislative Affairs Advisor to the Chief Government Whip, Clive was tasked with advancing the government’s policy and legislative objectives through House of Commons committees, including implementation legislation for the Canada-United States-Mexico Free Trade Agreement. More recently, Clive has served as Legal Research Advisor and as Public Appointments Advisor to the Prime Minister of Canada. Specifically, over a three-year period, Clive was the primary advisor on judicial appointments within the Prime Minister’s Office. During that time, the federal government appointed over 250 judges to trial and appellate courts across the country, including two puisne justices to the Supreme Court of Canada.
In his spare time, Clive enjoys reading, cheering on the Toronto Maple Leafs, and, as a (very) amateur home cook, trying new recipes.
