Thanks to everyone of the 3922 lawyers who voted for me. In a year of sea change at the LSO I am so grateful to be re-elected #bencherelection2019

There were a lot of questions in Convocation last time, from benchers like @VespryLaw and @GroiaJoseph about the fiduciary duty and duty of good faith in the Bencher code of conduct. Here's an update: LSO is subject to subsection 127.1 (1) of the Corporations Act 8/n

Bencher Jerry Udell says that if #LSOConvocation wants more solicitors (an issue raised by Wright), then solicitors need to go vote in #BencherElection2019 .

As voting nears, we urge all Bencher candidates and voters to stand with us on one key principle: The LSO should ensure sustainable funding for PBO. Together, we can take meaningful, concrete, and cost-effective action on access to justice. Our moment is now. #BencherElection2019

An underrepresented community!
Sole practitioners and small firms make up the majority of Ontario’s lawyers, and some say Convocation could benefit from more sole practitioners and small-firm lawyers, too. lawtimesnews.com/author/anit… 9/?
There is still a place for robes in appellate courts. But at the trial level, robes often intimidate witnesses. #BencherElection2019
Should lawyers still be required to wear gowns to court in 2019? My story in Monday's paper. #BencherElection2019 thestar.com/news/gta/2019/03… via @torontostar
