Purpose and objects

The Forum is a platform for CBA members who are employed as lawyers at various levels of government or in public sector agencies.

Its objectives are to:

Provide mechanisms for public sector lawyers to exchange information and ideas;
Serve as a national network to enable public sector lawyers to connect on shared issues;
Advance the understanding of the roles played by public sector lawyers;
Raise the profile of its members by ensuring public sector lawyers interests are represented within the CBA;
Bring to the CBA the unique perspective of practicing law within a government setting;
Serve as the national voice of public sector lawyers within the activities of the Forum and those of the CBA;
Promote networking and delivery of programs through the Forum’s provincial and territory branches.

Please use the links on the menu on the left to learn more about the Forum. The PSLF publishes a newsletter, The Forum, twice a year with articles of interest to public sector lawyers, including profiles of individual lawyers and developments in Crown compensation across the country. We also give an annual award, the John Tait Award of Excellence.
