Bencher changes following judicial appointment

On November 29, the Honourable Arif Virani, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, appointed Lindsay R. LeBlanc, KC to the BC Supreme Court in Victoria, effective immediately. As such, Justice LeBlanc is no longer a Law Society Bencher or Second Vice-President. Next steps regarding filling the vacancies left by her departure, including a Bencher by-election, will take place in early 2025. Per the Law Society rules, Second Vice-President Elect Thomas Spraggs now becomes Second Vice-President. 

We extend our congratulations to Justice LeBlanc on her appointment and thank her for her immense contributions to the Law Society. Read the full announcement.
