Mangat Decision to be Appealed
Fighting for public protection

The CBA’s Leadership Role
What does it mean in 1999?
Two special events will be hosted by the CBA in the coming months. At first glance, they look unrelated: a President’s Forum on the Business of Law on April 16; and a National Flag Day Citizenship Ceremony for 100 new Canadians on February 15. Yet, these different events reflect two critical components of the CBA’s role in serving the legal profession.
