Have Your Say! 

The LSN Executive Committee in collaboration with the Legal Ethics and Practice Committee (LEPC) will be launching a consultation seeking comments from any and all of our Members in respect of a nation-wide Federation of Law Societies of Canada consultation on draft amendments to the Model Code in response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s  Call to Action 27.

Members of the Executive and of the LEPC hope to welcome you to participate in this consultation about how to better incorporate Inuit Societal Values and foster reconciliation in the legal profession.
