HEARING COMMITTEE ADJUDICATOR ROSTER

The Law Society of Saskatchewan is looking for up to 10 members of the public and up to 10 members of the Law Society (lawyers licensed through the Law Society of Saskatchewan) to join its Hearing Committee Adjudicator Roster.

Successful candidates will complete the Law Society of Saskatchewan Adjudicator Training Program (approximately 16 hours of video-based course content).

As part of its mandate to regulate the practice of law in Saskatchewan in the public interest, the Law Society recognizes the importance of high quality adjudications for professional discipline matters that require a hearing. The Law Society has appointed an independent Hearing Administrator to lead a process to select a roster of diverse and wellqualified individuals to populate Hearing Committees.

The Hearing Administrator is seeking applications from those interested in being considered for appointment to the Law Society of Saskatchewan Hearing Committee Roster (the “Roster”). People appointed to the Roster will form a pool of adjudicators who may be assigned by the Hearing Administrator to carry out adjudicative responsibilities typically as a member a three-person Hearing Committee.

The Roster will consist of between 20-30 individuals and include an approximately equal mixture of Law Society Board Members (Benchers), members of the Law Society, and members of the wider public. Appointments are for terms of three years and may be renewed. When participating in a hearing, a per diem is paid and expenses are reimbursed.

The Law Society and the public it serves will benefit from a Roster comprised of people with a diverse set of skills, experiences, and perspectives. In line with the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission Equity Program, we encourage applications from equity-seeking groups. This includes candidates who are Indigenous, women, persons with disabilities, from racialized groups, 2SLGBTQQIA+ individuals, and others who hold unique and complex lived experiences.
