Committee elects paralegals to serve as Law Society benchers
The Law Society of Upper Canada welcomes Michelle Haigh and Paul Dray as new benchers to its governing body, following their election on April 8, 2010 by members of the Paralegal Standing Committee. Cathy Corsetti was elected committee chair.
The committee's five paralegal members and three lay benchers elected the two new benchers during the first meeting of the Paralegal Standing Committee following the election of its paralegal members at the end of March. The entire committee elected the chair.
All five paralegal members of the committee, including the benchers, will serve a four-year term. The chair will serve a one-year term.
Biographies of the newly elected paralegal committee members are available.
The Paralegal Standing Committee plays an integral role in the governance and regulation of licensed paralegals throughout the province.
