Thanks to everyone of the 3922 lawyers who voted for me. In a year of sea change at the LSO I am so grateful to be re-elected #bencherelection2019

[Law Society of Ontario @LawSocietyLSO]

#BencherElection2019 voting numbers as of 9 a.m. today (April 26): 9,858 lawyers and 1,105 paralegals have voted. Beyond the chat with colleagues in your network about the rainy weather today, why not suggest they cast their #LSObencher votes?

Get out the vote #BencherElection2019

There were a lot of questions in Convocation last time, from benchers like @VespryLaw and @GroiaJoseph about the fiduciary duty and duty of good faith in the Bencher code of conduct. Here's an update: LSO is subject to subsection 127.1 (1) of the Corporations Act 8/n

Bencher Jerry Udell says that if #LSOConvocation wants more solicitors (an issue raised by Wright), then solicitors need to go vote in #BencherElection2019 .

Only 3 days left!

[Janis Criger @Thinqr1]

You know you can vote 24/7, any time it’s convenient until April 30, 2019 at 5 p.m. sharp, right? Just saying, in case you haven’t voted yet for your Bencher picks.

. @yigalrifkind @seanrobichaud @jonnyrosenyyz @GroiaJoseph @Walker_Law @nickwrightlaw @HeatherZordel @ryan_p_alford: >30 candidates think LSO should ensure sustainability of @ProBonoOntario. There will be more. Can we add your name? cc @ErinDurant42 @nicpwall @Breanna_Needham

[Pro Bono Ontario @ProBonoOntario]

As voting nears, we urge all Bencher candidates and voters to stand with us on one key principle: The LSO should ensure sustainable funding for PBO. Together, we can take meaningful, concrete, and cost-effective action on access to justice. Our moment is now. #BencherElection2019

[Joseph Groia @GroiaJoseph]

Let's get it done! #BencherElection2019

An underrepresented community!

[Anita Balakrishnan @MsABalakrishnan]

Sole practitioners and small firms make up the majority of Ontario’s lawyers, and some say Convocation could benefit from more sole practitioners and small-firm lawyers, too. https://t.co/PiYNVo0viL 9/?

There is still a place for robes in appellate courts. But at the trial level, robes often intimidate witnesses. #BencherElection2019

Should lawyers still be required to wear gowns to court in 2019? My story in Monday's paper. #BencherElection2019 https://t.co/NWMnCNPbBs via @torontostar
