2025 Annual General Meeting Outcome
The Law Society of Alberta Annual General Meeting (AGM) was held today where two member motions were presented. Please note that member motions must be presented by the Law Society “as is”. The Law Society cannot edit member motions.
Both motions were debated and voted upon by the lawyers attending the meeting, and both were lost. Motion #1 was defeated by a vote of 431 to 84, of the 515 votes cast. Motion #2 was defeated by a vote of 453 to 43, of the 496 votes cast.
As the motions were lost, no further action is required by the Benchers. The Law Society appreciates the interest and time lawyers took to attend the AGM.
The legal profession plays an important role in upholding the rule of law — one of the cornerstones of our democracy. That’s why law societies across Canada, including the Law Society of Alberta, have launched Ours to Protect, a national campaign to raise awareness about the importance of the rule of law and to unite Canadians around the shared values of democracy and justice. It is up to every single one of us to get involved and be engaged on the issues facing our profession and the system in which we work.
