Who is Sarah Shody?

By Jennifer Brown

She has appeared before all levels of court in Ontario and sat second chair at the Supreme Court of Canada, but now Sarah Shody, BA'05, LLB'07, can add the coveted role of Jeopardy contestant to her list of accomplishments.

Shody, an associate at Torys LLP in Toronto, appeared on the popular game show on April 28 and says courtrooms remain much more daunting than the studio lights and cryptic clues in the form of answers posed by the game show’s Canadian-born host, Alex Trebek.

“Playing Jeopardy is actually really fun,” says Shody from her Toronto office the morning after she appeared on TV. “No one is going to start rolling their eyes at your submissions and start sparking questions at you.”
