    THE CANADIAN BAR REVIEW THE CANADIAN BAR REVIEW is the organ of the Canadian Bar Association, and it is felt that its pages should be open to free and fair discussion of all matters of interest to the legal profession in Canada. The Editor, however, wishes it to be understood that opinions expressed in signed articles are those of the individual writers only, and that the REVIEW does not assume any responsibility for them.

Rowell, K.C., President of the Canadian Bar Association, was guest of honour and principal speaker at the annual dinner of the American Bar Association held in Washington, D .C., on the 15th instant . The press refers to his speech as one of remarkable farce and brilliance. We quote from the Washington correspondent of the Ottawa Citizen : His speech indeed was of outstanding interest even on a programme which during the week had included the President of the United States, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, Lord Reading, former Viceroy of India,- and eminent members of the American Bar. Mr. Rowell spoke both as a lawyer and as close student of international problems. His speech particularly revealed his deep interest in the great subject of world peace.

  • Solicitor Not on the Record
    Solicitor not on the record Purpose: To provide assistance to barristers who find out that their solicitor is not on the court record Scope of application: All practising barristers Issued by: The Ethics Committee Issued: April 2019 Last reviewed: May 2020 Status and effect: Please see the notice at end of this document. This is not “guidance” for the purposes of the BSB Handbook I6.4. Issue: a barrister is instructed by an instructing solicitor to represent a lay client at a hearing. The barrister is told or finds out that the solicitor is not on the court record. What should the barrister do? Answer: nothing. 1. A barrister can provide reserved legal activities (including advocacy at court) if s/he is instructed by a professional client, a licensed access client or a public access client. There is nothing in the BSB Handbook or the Legal Services Act which requires that the person instructing the barrister to attend court must have conduct of the litigation. 2. Indeed, it is axiomatic that when a barrister is instructed by a licensed access client, the licence holder will not have conduct of the litigation. The same applies in a public access case when the barrister is instructed by an intermediary. 3. The Law Society recognises that solicitors may act for a client on a limited retainer. This is called ‘unbundling’. It is usually so that the client can save money. The Law Society guidance1 says: ‘The essence of unbundling in its purest form is that 1 At the time of review in May 2020, the Law Society guidance was awaiting updating to reflect the replacement of the SRA Handbook (version 21) by the SRA Standards and Regulations on, and with effect, from 25th November 2019.

  • Canadian Lawyer Mobility and Law Society Conflict of Interest*
    Fordham International Law Journal Volume 18, Issue 1 1994 Article 4 Canadian Lawyer Mobility and Law Society Conflict of Interest Alexander J. Black∗ ∗ Copyright c 1994 by the authors. Fordham International Law Journal is produced by The Berke- ley Electronic Press (bepress). http://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/ilj Canadian Lawyer Mobility and Law Society Conflict of Interest Alexander J. Black Abstract This Article discusses inter-jurisdictional mobility of lawyers in Canada, comparing Canadian practice to European Community (”Community” or “EC”) reforms and U.S. practice. Ironically, the Community eschews using the label ”federal” because the process of European unification is ongoing, yet the new regime for the transfer of lawyers between EC Member States is freer and less fettered than the transfer regimes in Canada. In the United States, the mobility of lawyers is dependent upon reciprocal agreements between state bar associations whereby qualification in one state bar permits direct entry to practice in other states. Hence, this Article compares the rules affecting lawyer mobility in the ten Canadian provinces and two territories, the European Community, and the United States, specifically New York State, a jurisdiction receptive to foreign law degrees.

  • June 11, 2019 Via Email: Assistance
    June 11, 2019 Via email: [email protected]; [email protected] The Right Honourable Justin Trudeau, P.C., M.P. Prime Minister of Canada Leader, Liberal Party of Canada 350 Albert Street, Suite 920 Ottawa, ON K1P 6M8 Dear Party Leader, We are writing on behalf of the Canadian Bar Association, as you prepare for the coming federal election campaign, to urge your party to commit to access to justice for all Canadians. The Canadian Bar Association is a national association of lawyers, law student, notaries and academics, with a mandate that includes seeking improvements in the law and administration of justice, and access to justice. We are here to help with the legal expertise of over 36,000 members, who live in every jurisdiction of Canada. Many people believe legal problems only happen to others. But, over three years, 45% of Canadians will have a problem needing a legal solution. And predictably, people with less money have more legal problems. Equal access to justice is not a reality in Canada now. Legal aid, Canada’s most important access to justice program, is too often inconsistently available, even for essential legal needs. As federal contributions have waned, some provinces and territories have tried to fill gaps. As a result, services vary as to who gets help and for what across Canada, much more than for other essential public services. A single mother working for minimum wage might get a lawyer for a child custody problem in one province, but in the next province be directed to a website or self-help materials.

  • Is the Title of Solicitor Still Relevant? What's in a Name?
    What’s in a name? Is the title of solicitor still relevant? What’s in a name? “Solicitor” is but one name in the English lexicon of an estimated quarter of a million words.1 The exact number is unknown because a language is not a fossil, frozen in time. The human penchant for dictionaries gives the illusion that a language can be captured in print and paper, but the result is only a time capsule. The real language, as it exists in the heads and on the tongues of millions of people is a living creature, always evolving. The evolution of a language is the sum of the evolution of its words, each of which, however fundamental they may seem, was made up once upon a time. In this way, every word is a historical artefact, a kind of time-space map, with a story to tell of where and how it has been used over time. The story of the word “solicitor” is relatively unique in the global legal dictionary. In French you have the choice of words like “associé” and “advocat”. In Russian you have “юрист” (“yurist”) and “ адвокат” (“advokat”). “Yurist” comes from the root for law, so “lawyer” seems to be the best fit - that happy, international catch-all. “Associé” fits with the Anglo-American title “associate”. “Advocat” and “advokat” fit nicely with barristers who practice advocacy. Even “barrister” makes sense as professionals are called to the “Bar”. But where did an oddity like “solicitor” come from? Dictionaries give clues as to its origins: ● Late Middle English (denoting an agent or deputy): from Old French solliciteur, from solliciter (Oxford); ● 1375–1425; late Middle English solicitour < Anglo-French; Middle French soliciteur.
