The Society’s EMS—which powers lawyers’ services under Member Sign In and the publicly-accessible Directory of Lawyers—will be undergoing a significant upgrade to enhance service efficiency and provide an improved user experience.
To complete this upgrade, the system will be unavailable from this Wednesday, March 19, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. ADT until March 25, 2025, at 8:00 a.m. ADT.
During this time, all functionality under the Member Sign In will not be available.
In addition, the Directory of Lawyers will not be accessible to the public.
For example, applications cannot be submitted during this time, including articling applications and requests for Certificates of Standing. If you have any concerns or urgent requests in these areas, please contact us at licensing@nsbs.org.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and encourage you to complete any planned activities within these areas before the scheduled downtime. If you require assistance during this period, our team will be happy to help. For support or inquiries, contact our Manager of Membership Services & Data by emailing info@nsbs.org with “EMS Question” in the subject line.
Thank you for your understanding as we work to enhance this important system. We look forward to sharing details on the improvements.
