The intellectual rot of critical race theory and social justice nihilism has slowly conquered Canadian law schools
The die would have been cast had it not been for 22 rank-and-file lawyers. Four years ago in the previous bencher election, those 22 were elected on a platform of repealing the SOP, and they succeeded in doing exactly that. At the time of that election, the law society was a national leader in politicizing professional regulation. Thanks only to the presence of the “StopSOP” benchers, who in fact hold a minority of seats, it is now a reluctant laggard.
But the SOP was only one small part of an aggressive political agenda that remains in place. Incorporating the substance of the SOP into the rules of professional conduct, tracking and publishing the racial makeup of each firm over 25 lawyers, and requiring licensees to take compulsory re-education programs in EDI are among the many items waiting to be reactivated by a big-governance coalition of establishment benchers who hope to retake the law society in this spring’s election.
In 1977, I was the perfect age for the original Star Wars. It cost me a dollar and 10 cents, and I went over and over again. “It’s not that I like the Empire,” says Luke early in the piece, “I hate it. But there’s nothing I can do about it right now.” Many lawyers may feel that way about the forces that control the law society, but there is something they can do. Most of the StopSOP benchers will be running again, and they will be joined by a handful of other resolute lawyers as the “FullStop” team, dedicated to de-politicizing the law society. They seek to restore it to its core mandate of regulating competence and ethical practice. Lawyers can vote, in private, to say that the law society has lost its way and must be put right.
Canadian regulators are imposing a new standard of professional practice. It threatens not just lawyers but professionals of all kinds, as well as every Canadian who might someday need their services: embrace our politics or risk losing your licence. This spring, there is an opportunity to repudiate it. I hope we don’t make a fourth mistake., professor of law at Queen’s University, a member of the Law Society of Ontario, and part of the FullStop team.
