So proud of the work @itlnca has done to move the needle on this! So much has changed in the last 2 years thanks to my team’s efforts.

Things are changing thanks to the leadership of @samdelfrate who almost singlehandedly created the NCA OCI day. NCA OCI day was a true disruptor in law & helped even the playing field.

Excited to announce that in 2023, we will be giving the professions a clear choice. I will be running for bencher with the Good Governance Coalition. We are a group of competent leaders and we are representative of the legal professions.
It's time to return good governance to the LSO with experienced leaders. Learn more: goodgovernancecoalition.ca/n…

Law Society Hearings Tribunal decision a reminder that tribunals CAN reject joint submissions as to penalty if the high threshold for doing so is met, and an admission can’t be taken back because of this. Will be interesting to see if the tribunal rejects the joint submission.
Toronto lawyer Jeremy Diamond can’t take back his admission of professional misconduct, Law Society tribunal rules. Will fines or suspension come next? #New from @powellbetsy torstar.co/Kxwb50KqNTM

I second this. @atrishalewis never ceases to make me proud of the work she is doing at the LSO
Great to hear. But I hope the "experienced" part doesn't mean that younger licensees or new voices are excluded. @atrishalewis has, from my view, been the most effective Bencher in years and she was told to "wait her turn" by the old guard. Glad she didn't.

Huge thank you to my Executive team and LSSO Council for the hard work on the min wage issue throughout our term at the LSSO. Thank you to the Advisory Board for the guidance and support. As well, thank you to the students who took the time to share feedback & inform our advocacy

Convocation votes for a mandatory minimum wage. 25 in favour of the mandatory minimum. 24 against. The STOPSOP slate was united against having a mandatory minimum. I am relieved. But it shouldn’t have been this close.

Bravo @Alex_W_Sinclair, an articling student speaking truth about minimum wage to benchers, most of whom graduated decades ago when tuition was cheap and have “no frame of reference for the reality of entering the profession today.”
“You can do better. I urge you to.” 👏
