In a
blog published January 16, 2014, I discussed the TWU debate in
light of the approval granted by the Federation of Law Societies of
Canada approval for the proposed Christian law school.
In nearly a month, three other law societies have spoken up, and
one has quieted down.
The Law Society of Upper Canada's Convocation (or Board of
Directors) will be review the TWU matter at its April 24, 2014
meeting. From the comments delivered by the Treasurer on January
23, 2014, the process by which material will come before the
Convocation is still to be determined. The Law Society of
Saskatchewan and the Law Society of British Columbia are also
examining the Federation's approval.
At the Canadian Bar Association's Mid-Winter meeting to be
held in Ottawa on February 23-24, 2014, the attendees will be asked
to vote on a resolution for the "[CBA] to urge the
[Federation] and the provincial and territorial law societies to
require all legal education programs recognized
