Notice to the Profession: Amendments to the Code of Professional Conduct in effect
February 3, 2023
On January 27th, 2023 the Society’s Council approved amendments to the Code of Professional Conduct. The amendments relate to discrimination, harassment, and ex parte communication.
The amendments to our Code of Professional Conduct reflect amendments made by the Federation of Law Societies of Canada to the Model Code of Conduct, which seeks to harmonize, as much as possible, the ethical and professional conduct standards for the legal profession in Canada.
