The Law Society of Saskatchewan wishes to acknowledge the invaluable assistance of Donald S. McKercher, Q.C., Professor Russell Buglass and the staff of The Law Society, particularly A. Kirsten Logan, Deputy Secretary-Treasurer and Allan T. Snell, In-house Counsel.  These four individuals were active participants in the work of the Committee of the Benchers which prepared the draft for consideration by the Benchers in Convocation.  Mr. McKercher was a member of the special committee of the Canadian Bar Association which drafted The Canadian Bar Association Code of Professional Conduct which was adopted by Council in August, 1987.  Professor Buglass is a Professor Law at the University of Saskatchewan and has, for a number of years, taught the Professional Responsibility classes in the College of Law.

The Law Society also wishes to gratefully acknowledge the prior work of the special committee of the Canadian Bar Association and notes that The Law Society of Saskatchewan Code of Professional Conduct is based, in large part, on The Canadian Bar Association Code of Professional Conduct.
