​The Ontario Bar Association is building Momentum through a unique campaign that shines a light on some of the unconscious biases that can lead to gender inequality in the legal profession.

Members of the Ontario Bar Association are once again stepping up to help the next generation of lawyers. The OBA has launched a new Robe Bank program that will match people who want to donate or lend their robes with new lawyers who need them across all judicial regions of Ontario.

Voting for the 2019 Law Society of Ontario Bencher Election is now open. Lawyers elected to Convocation will be in a position to influence governance, regulation and the provision of legal services to the public for the next four years, so it's critical to consider how candidates will effectively serve in the role when it comes to tackling the most pressing issues.

The OBA will host a series of OBA Solution Circles over the coming months. OBA Solution Circles will address certain issues that we know are barriers to advancing gender equality (e.g., work interruptions and their impact on a legal career).

The OBA offices will be closed for the holidays between 1:00 p.m. on Friday, December 21, 2018 and 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, January 3, 2019.

Every year the Real Property Law Section of the OBA celebrates one of its members, acknowledged by peers as a leading practitioner and contributor to Real Property Law in Ontario through the OBA Award of Excellence in Real Estate. This is your opportunity to recognize the colleagues, peers or mentors who have had the most meaningful impact on the practice in Ontario and in the advancing the profession as a whole.
