Application deadline extended for practice fee rebate pilot program

In September 2025, Law Society Benchers approved a one-time practice fee rebate pilot program to support lawyers who are experiencing financial hardship. The deadline to apply for this program has been extended to 11:59 pm PST on Friday, September 18. 
 
 To be eligible for the rebate, you must be a current member in good standing, who:

1. Held practising membership at any time during 2025;
2. Paid the applicable practice fees for 2025;
3. Met the total income requirement of equal or less than $65,000 reported on line 15000 on your 2025 T1 income tax return. 

Applications can be submitted through the Member Portal, and eligible lawyers will be notified by email in October 2026 when their rebate has been issued. Learn more about the program and read the FAQs.
