Toward a New Legal Profession Act The Legal Profession Act governs and regulates the practise of law in the Yukon. The Law Society of Yukon has embarked on a project to revise and update the Legal Profession Act. We are working toward introduction of the new Bill in the Legislature in the fall of 2012. There have been many developments in terms of the regulation of professions generally and the legal profession specifically, since the passage of our current Legal Profession Act. In the development of a new Act, it is critical that we are aware of the various perspectives of all relevant stakeholders in terms of the role and function of the Law Society. |
