The Society has developed a strong voice by speaking out publicly on behalf of advocates in matters affecting our interests and those of our clients. Every member of The Advocates' Society has the opportunity to directly influence legislation by participating in the organization's board of directors and committees. The Advocates' Society provides an excellent forum for members of the litigation community to exchange ideas and express their views for legislative reform. The Honourable Mme. As the governing body of the Society, the board formulates the mission and goals, sets policies and oversees operations.
Board members come from every area of advocacy, ensuring broad representation and input.
Committees act as the link between members for communication, problem-solving and accomplishing goals. And they convey the Society's position externally to the profession, the public and the government through presentations and contributions to briefs. Special committees are formed in response to current issues or to achieve special goals. They may deal with virtually any area of advocacy, from French language in the courts, to insurance and class actions. The Society encourages our members to become involved in all aspects of the organization's activities.
