Nova Scotia Court of Appeal Liaison Committee is seeking new members. Tasked with ensuring effective liaison with the Supreme Court, the Committee is looking for members with experience working in criminal defence, plaintiff-side civil litigation, or as a lawyer at a small firm.
The Court of Appeal Liaison Committee supports the Society’s mandate by ensuring there is an effective means of communication between the Court and the Society.
There are three main tasks for the Committee:
- to identify practice and policy issues of mutual concern and interest;
- to recommend means for addressing these issues; and
- to communicate the results of this process to the Court and to the Society for further communication to the profession or elsewhere.
If you are interested in becoming a member of this Society committee, please send the following documentation to jmullenger@nsbs.org:
- A brief expression of interest (max. 1 page) – please describe why you’re interested in joining the Court of Appeal Liaison Committee, and the attributes and experience you could bring to this committee’s work.
- A brief resume (1-2 pages)
- A completed Skills Matrix
We value diversity on our committees and welcome applications from members of equity-deserving communities. We also accommodate volunteers who wish to attend meetings via video. The Society asks applicants to submit a skills matrix to better understand the skills and backgrounds of members who wish to fill these vacancies.
If you require an accommodation or assistance with preparing an application, please contact our Equity and Access office at equity@nsbs.org.
