Is your Section having a conference this fall? Read on to see our list of upcoming conferences.

The CBA National office has one bricks-and-mortar address, but there are also a host of other places to find us online. Let us draw you a map of the high points.

The CBA, in cooperation with the Association of Legal Aid Plans of Canada, has developed six aspirational legal aid benchmarks aimed at providing guiding principles to achieve the goal of a national system of public legal assistance. So what comes next?

We urge the government of Canada to immediately cease the immigration detention of unaccompanied minors, children, and families, in order to halt the significant harm to children. Children should neither be detained, nor separated from their parents as a result of the detention of their parents. Community-based alternatives to immigration detention should be implemented immediately to protect the best interests of children and children’s right to liberty and family life.

Welcome from the Chair.

The CBA brought together a team of lawyers with experience in the judicial discipline process and other professional discipline matters, including the chair of the Ethics Committee, to comment on the proposals. Their letter builds on a 2014 submission to the Canadian Judicial Council on the topic.

The CBA is saddened by the passing of Paule Gauthier, P.C., O.C., O.Q., Q.C on September 21. She served the Canadian legal profession, her country, and our Association well during her long and distinguished career.
