Hearings are open to the public although some portions may need to be closed to protect confidential client information.
Law Society discipline hearings usually take place in the hearing room at the Law Society's office in Vancouver and generally start at 9:30 am. Hearings typically take one to two days. Before you attend a hearing, confirm that the hearing is on schedule by contacting the Hearing Administrator. Members of the media are asked to contact the Communications Department if you plan to attend a hearing.
