Gathering in Support of the Defenders of the Rule of Law

The notice below went out to lawyers in Ontario and their staff; a similar event took place Sunday in Ottawa.

Show your support for the rule of law

In response to the situation in Pakistan, the Law Society of Upper Canada and the Ontario Bar Association invite you to attend a Gathering in Support of the Defenders of the Rule of Law and our colleagues in Pakistan: Thursday, November 29 at 1:15 p.m. at Osgoode Hall.

Lawyers and legal associations around the world are united in expressing their support for their colleagues in Pakistan, and calling for the restoration of the rule of law in that country. The blatant violations of human rights and the attacks on the rule of law in a democratic society are unacceptable.

We invite you to attend, to show your support, and to hear from representatives of the legal profession in Ontario.

All lawyers, judges, law students, families and supporters of the rule of law are invited to attend. Lawyers are welcome to attend gowned. We need your participation to make this event a success.

Avocats et associations juridiques du monde entier s’unissent pour exprimer leur appui à leurs collègues du Pakistan, et pour demander la restauration de l’État de droit dans ce pays.

Nous vous invitons à participer, à montrer votre appui et à venir écouter des représentants de la profession juridique en Ontario.

Tous les avocats et avocates, juges, étudiants et étudiantes de droit, familles et amis de la primauté du droit sont invités. Les avocats peuvent porter leur toge. Nous avons besoin de votre participation pour faire de cet événement un succès.
