I will promote the highest standards of legal education including mentoring of new lawyers and paralegals. After 20 years of practice and teaching I have valuable insights into law reform, work-life balance, job- sharing opportunities for women and other key issues facing legal professionals. Join me and many others at a series of online Bencher Election town halls beginning on March 29th: See www.mylegalbriefcase.com/townhall DavidMcRobert_LT_Mar14_11.indd 1 3/9/11 11:43:36 AM LaxO'Sullivan_LT_Mar28_10.indd 1 3/22/11 2:56:35 PM RE-ELECT CHRISTOPHER D. BREDT BENCHER (TORONTO) A Strong Voice for Reform Chris is a hard working and thoughtful Bencher. He has been a strong advocate for greater transparency and accountability in the governance of the Law Society and a consistent voice for reform. A fine counsel, thoughtful and public-spirited, with a commitment to legal education. These qualities will continue to serve him well as a Bencher. Chris has shown great commitment to Pro Bono and access to justice. He has supported the Canadian Civil Liberties Association and has shown his dedication to the protection of democratic values: a quality that I like to see in the Benchers that represent us. As a former Bencher, I know that Chris has the commitment, integrity, and resolve to serve our profession and work in the best interests of all lawyers in Ontario. Chris led climbs of Mt. Kilimanjaro in 2006 and 2010 that raised over $1 million for CODE's (Canadian Organization for Development through Education) children's literacy programs in Tanzania.
