Lawyers Weekly: New Queen's Counsels

Donning the silks Posted: 03 Jan 2014 08:39 AM PST More than 180 lawyers across the country welcomed 2014 with a Queen’s Counsel designation to add to their title. Although Ontario and Manitoba no longer bestow the centuries-old honour upon lawyers, most other provinces still do. (COMMENT) OMA members selecting Lawyers have difficulty knowing which lawyers are best. A "QC" used to help. Left-wing Socialist Ontario dislikes UK-based honours. Many of the major law firms have branches across Canada. Unlike MDs, a lawyer can practice 90 days in any Province. A Doctor is reported to have retained a lawyer from the firm of LENCZNER,SLAGHT,ROYCE,SMITH,GRIFFIN LLP who attended a pre-CPSO tribunal conference in his office with a bare foot and ice-bag -after running. He also failed to attend the Tribunal when the MD was being Cross-examined. A timid Junior took his place, never once objecting to the "legal tricks" of the CPSO female "Prosecutor" (now working for TD bank)who asked multiple clause questions to which it was impossible to give "yes/no" answers.)
