Recommendations for External Appointments Application

Law Society Recommendations for External Appointments Application Form

As part of its mandate, the Law Society recommends potential appointees to a variety of boards, councils and committees.  

In particular, the Law Society makes recommendations to the Attorney General for appointments to the Board of Legal Aid Ontario, The Justices of the Peace Appointments Advisory Committee and the Justices of the Peace Review Council, under the Legal Aid Services and the Justices of the Peace Acts. Recommendations for additional agencies are also made as required.

To ensure that the Law Society is able to make recommendations in a timely fashion we have established an electronic application process and application bank.

Application process

The Law Society accepts applications for all appointments throughout the year. As vacancies arise and recommendations are required, we review all applicable applications in our application bank. Applications are kept in the bank for three years.

The Law Society accepts applications through the electronic application form only. The application must be completed in one sitting as it is not possible to save a partially completed form. It is possible to cut and paste text into the electronic form, however, the form does not preserve formatting such as italics and bullets. For bullet points, please use a standard dash at the beginning of the line.  

The Law Society will only consider information on the application form. Please do not submit a separate resume or any other supporting material such as reference letters.
