Deadline Extended – Bencher Election Survey

December 20, 2021

As the 2021 election is now complete, we are inviting member perspectives on Bencher elections and invite all members to complete a short survey. The new deadline to complete the survey is Tuesday, January 4.

As fiduciaries of the Law Society acting in the public interest, it is beneficial for Benchers to have diverse backgrounds and experience, yet members of equity-seeking groups are often under-represented among elected Benchers. This survey requests input from all members to understand barriers to becoming a Bencher and whether there are additional or compounded barriers for members of equity-seeking groups.
