Laywers, experts say law societies are being used inappropriately to settle political scores

Robert Hawkes, a lawyer at JSS Barristers in Calgary, is among those who believe law societies are being used inappropriately to settle political scores.

Incompetence in the political arena, Mr. Holloway said, does not necessarily equate to incompetence in the law profession. The government, under the control of the United Conservative Party, named Mr. May as a part-time human-rights commissioner in August, 2019. The government appointed him as chief of the organization in May, 2022, and he took up the post in July.

Mr. Sabir, on Twitter and Facebook, pointed to the online article to discredit Mr. May’s appointment, according to the complaints. Mr. Sabir also tried to woo one LSA bencher to join his anti-May campaign, according to the documents. Ms. Notley retweeted Mr. Sabir’s posts about Mr. May, according to the complaints. Other NDP MLAs did the same, the complaints said. Mr. May was fired in September.
