In troubling and disorienting times, children need the love, guidance and emotional support of both parents, now more than ever."

The Law Society of Upper Canada is mandated to govern the legal profession in the public interest. Benchers sit as members of Convocation to fulfill that mandate. The next bencher election will be held in April 2015.
