Her thesis was entitled “Enduring Powers of Attorney and the Financial Abuse of Older Persons: Are Existing Safeguards Sufficient?”  In 2017, she received a Certificate in Mediating Disputes from the Harvard Negotiation Institute at Harvard Law School.

In retirement, Paula Wedge started her own mediation practice; she joined CARP Nova Scotia and was appointed Chair of the Health Advocacy Committee, later joining the Executive as Vice-Chair. She continues her involvement with the Elder Law Section of the Canadian Bar Association, Nova Scotia Branch. As of January 2019, she began teaching Elder Law at the Schulich School of Law at Dalhousie. In the fall of 2019, she will begin teaching Labour Law.
