The Law Society is seeking expressions of interest from individuals who wish to be considered as the Law Society’s nominee for appointment to the Federal Judicial Advisory Committee.
The Federal Judicial Advisory Committee guidelines provide that the committee is to consist of seven members, of which the Law Society’s representative is one. When appointing Committee members, the Government seeks to achieve a gender-balanced Committee that also reflects the diversity of members of each jurisdiction, including Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities and members of linguistic, ethnic and other minority communities, including those whose members’ gender identity or sexual orientation differs from that of the majority.
The appointment would be for a three-year term commencing August 17, 2026. The deadline for applications is 4:30 pm on May 1, 2026.
Individuals interested in being considered for appointment to the Federal Judicial Advisory Committee are invited to review information on the Office of the Commissioner for Federal Judicial Affairs Canada website, and to submit an application form and supporting resume online specifying why you would be a good candidate for this position. We thank all applicants for their interest; however, only those candidates selected to move forward in the appointment process will be contacted.
