I'd like to take attendance, for those 4 members of Convocation who are attending by phone. 5 When I call your name, would you please indicate that 6 you're present. Robert Armstrong? 7 MR.

SANDLER: Mark Sandler. 13 TREASURER CONWAY: Thank you, Mr. 14 Sandler. Anyone else? 15 MR. MANES: Ron Manes. 16 TREASURER CONWAY: Anyone else? All 17 right. 18 MR. YACHETTI: Roger Yachetti is here. 19 TREASURER CONWAY: Thank you, Mr. 20 Yachetti. Anyone else? 21 MR. HUNTER: George Hunter. 22 TREASURER'S REMARKS: 23 TREASURER CONWAY: Thank you, Mr. 24 Hunter. Anyone else? All right. Before turning to 25 the business at hand, I'd like to review the 9 1 instructions for the phone system for those 2 participating by phone. Once we determine who is on 3 the telephone, I will let everyone know that we will be 4 placing those calling into the meeting in what we call 5 lecture mode. 6 This means that from our end we are 7 muting all callers and, once muted, they will be able 8 to hear the meeting, but cannot speak. We, of course, 9 will need to come out of lecture mode to hear callers 10 who wish to speak and we will do that as the day 11 progresses with the speakers' list. Unless callers 12 wish to speak I ask that they star 6 their telephones, 13 as we have done in the past, and we will repeat this 14 procedure throughout Convocation as necessary. 15 I have one additional bit of business to 16 deal with today, not anticipated, but it comes as a 17 result of a happy event for one of our bencher 18 colleagues. 19 As you know from the memorandum from the 20 secretary, Robert Wadden was appointed a judge of the 21 Ontario Court of Justice last week. On behalf of 22 Convocation, I congratulate Justice Wadden on his 23 appointment and wish him well as he begins his career 24 on the bench in Ottawa. 25 This appointment has created a vacancy 10 1 for a bencher in the electoral region outside of 2 Metropolitan Toronto, and we have a motion before us at 3 tab 5 -- sorry, tab 6, to elect Peter Festeryga from 4 Leamington as a bencher. 5 The motion before Convocation is moved 6 by Adriana Doyle and seconded by Ross Earnshaw. Any 7 discussion? All in favour of the motion? Opposed, if 8 any? Carried. 9 Mr. Festeryga will be joining us on 10 April 24th, when I will give him a more fulsome 11 introduction. I know you will extend a warm welcome to 12 him at that time. 13 On behalf of Convocation I also wish to 14 congratulate the five paralegal benchers who were 15 elected on March 31st and took office yesterday. 16 Robert Burd, Cathy Corsetti, Michelle Haigh, Brian 17 Lawrie and Marian Lippa. Welcome. For most of you, 18 welcome back to Convocation. 19 Before we begin the deliberations 20 respecting Trinity Western University, I want to take 21 this opportunity to review today's proceedings. Before 22 that, however, I would like to acknowledge three 23 individuals who are joining us today in Convocation 24 room; Bob Kuhn, the president and vice chancellor of 25 Trinity Western University, Janet F. Buckingham, LLC, 11 1 director and associate professor of political studies 2 and history at Trinity Western University, and Eugene 3 Meehan, of Supreme Advocacy LLP Ottawa, counsel to 4 Trinity Western University. 5 TWU is the applicant seeking 6 accreditation. Its representatives are here today as 7 observers only and will not be participating in our 8 discussions. They will have the opportunity provide a 9 written response following this Convocation for 10 Convocation on April the 24th and to address 11 Convocation at that time. 12 As you know, we are webcasting 13 Convocation today and on April the 24th so that anyone 14 who wishes can view our Convocation proceedings from 15 their desktop computer. For those benchers who are 16 following the debate on the telephone and were thinking 17 of also watching the webcast, you should know there is 18 a 60 second delay and, as a result, I suggest you do 19 not try to follow the webcast or at least mute the 20 volume if you do. 21 In addition, some rooms have been set 22 aside here at the Law Society for lawyers, paralegals 23 and members of the public to watch the webcast. Today 24 these individuals are in the upper and lower 25 barrister's lounges and on April 24th will be in the 12 1 Lamont Learning Centre. 2 On February 27th, 2014, I advised 3 Convocation of the process we would follow in 4 determining the Law Society's accreditation of TWU. A 5 copy of my statement is available on the Law Society's 6 website and on BoardBooks at tab 1. I don't intend to 7 repeat that statement here. 8 In a few moments, Ms. Freya Kristjanson, 9 who is acting as counsel to the Law Society on this 10 matter, will provide Convocation with some overview 11 information and will refer to some of the issues I 12 addressed in my February statement. 13 Ms. Kristjanson is a partner at 14 Cavalluzzo, Shilton, McIntryre, Cornish LLP Toronto, 15 where she practices administrative law and civil 16 litigation. Welcome to Convocation. 17 Before Ms. Kristjanson speaks, however, 18 I would like to highlight the material that is before 19 Convocation and a few points from my February statement 20 to remind Convocation of certain procedural issues.

  • Andrew Flavelle Martin, the Government Lawyer As Activist

    Andrew Flavelle Martin, the Government Lawyer As Activist

    28 Windsor Review of Legal and Social Issues Vol. 41 THE GOVERNMENT LAWYER AS ACTIVIST: A LEGAL ETHICS ANALYSIS Andrew Flavelle Martin* INTRODUCTION Can a lawyer represent the government and be an activist at the same time? That is, can a lawyer and government employee represent the government in her professional life while being an activist in her personal life? There is a striking and seemingly irreducible clash, at least at the intuitive and visceral level, between the two roles—between representing the government on the one hand while at the same time lobbying it or litigating against it on the other. Government lawyers are nonetheless some of the more successful activists in recent Canadian history. Consider, for example, david Lepofsky. Lepofsky is perhaps Canada’s leading activist for the rights of persons with disabilities. He has lobbied and litigated to great effect, and his impact on Canadian law and policy at all levels of government is undeniable. While he was accomplishing these things, he spent most of his professional career as a constitutional and criminal appellate litigator for the Government of Ontario. The question that appears to have gone unasked, much less answered, is whether it was legitimate for Lepofsky to pursue these two very different streams at the same time. That is to say, is this duality problematic from a legal ethics perspective? does it matter what kind of practice a lawyer like Lepofsky has or what cause or kind of activism she pursues? In this article, I propose answers to these difficult questions. My purpose is to better understand Lepofsky’s legitimacy and legacy and to provide guidance to those who might follow his example.
