Welcome to the Law Society’s Website

We hope you find our information helpful, interesting, and accessible.

The Law Society, authorized by Provincial Legislation to protect the public interest, is funded by lawyers’ fees and governed by Benchers—a Board of Directors consisting of both elected lawyers and appointed public representatives. Our dedicated team is supported by a full-time Executive Director and staff.

Our mission is to ensure that lawyers provide the highest quality of service to the public. We achieve this by:

1. Establishing best practice standards and implementing a robust disciplinary process to uphold the integrity of the legal profession and protect the public interest
2. Offering educational opportunities targeted toward the legal community, alongside facilitating the bar admission process to ensure a thorough and fair evaluation of candidates entering the profession.
3. Supporting public access to legal information and advice
4. Providing access to legal research
5. Encouraging pro bono legal clinics
