Law Society requirements (Rule 714 and 729)

The Law Society requires an articling student to apply under Rules 714 and 729 in order to be admitted as a lawyer.

A student may apply for admission as a lawyer prior to completing his or her articles. The application will be accepted by the Law Society “subject to further compliance with the Rules”. The Law Society Membership Officer will advise the student as to what will be necessary to finalize the application.

The Executive Director of the Law Society receives and reviews all applications for admission as a lawyer and, pursuant to Subrule 729(3), has discretion to approve, approve with conditions or deny any applications for admission as a lawyer, or to direct the Chair of the Admissions and Education Committee to strike a hearing panel to hear and determine the application pursuant to Rules 731 to 741. In the event that an application is referred to a hearing panel, the application will be subject to delay. It is strongly recommended, if there are special circumstances surrounding an application, that the application be provided to The Law Society well in advance of any impending deadline set out in the Rules in order to minimize any potential delay in being admitted as a lawyer.

Fees

Students must submit the Application for Admission as a Lawyer (Form A-8) and the Affidavit of Lawyer or Member of the Judiciary with whom they served (Form A-9) along with the application fee of $175 plus $8.75 GST for a total fee of $183.75.

Signing the Roll

Once all the requirements outlined above have been met, students must sign the Law Society Roll at the Law Society office in Regina:

1100-2002 Victoria Ave.
Regina, SK   S4P 0R7
Phone: (306) 569-8242 or 1-833-733-0133
Fax: (306) 352-2989
Emails: General Inquiries – [email protected]

 An appointment to sign the Roll will NOT be scheduled until the student’s Application for Admission as a Lawyer has been submitted and approved. The enrolment fee, the prorated annual fee, and the prorated levy for errors and omissions insurance must be paid. Once the Roll is signed and all required fees are paid, newly admitted lawyers will be entitled to practice in Saskatchewan. Please contact Cheryl Eberle (Membership Officer) for further details at [email protected].

Presentation to the Bar

Ceremonies formally presenting newly admitted lawyers to the Court will be conducted in the fall. The local bar association will notify newly admitted lawyers and their firms of the dates and times of these ceremonies.
