The mandate of the CBA-NL Legislation and Law Reform (L&LR) Committee is to pursue improvements in the law and the administration of justice by: promoting consideration by the Branch of legal and policy issues that are of interest or concern to the legal community; to which the legal profession has a social or moral obligation to respond; and upon which the Branch can inform public debate.
CBA-NL L&LR initiatives will encapsulate provincial legislation and other issues falling within the constitutional jurisdiction of the provincial government, and other matters of provincial scope before provincial or subsidiary government bodies or officials. This does not include the making of federal submissions or statements.
For 2020-21 the CBA-NL Executive Committee will serve as the standing L&LR Committee.
