Linda R. Rothstein, LSM
Last year I had the privilege of serving as President of The Advocates’ Society. I had the opportunity to become engaged in the many challenges that confront our profession and the administration of justice, and to take steps to address those challenges.
I am particularly proud of our Skirting the Issues Conference which focused on the stresses facing women advocates and our efforts to create better mentoring opportunities for young women lawyers. Under my leadership, The Advocates’ Society also confronted some of the access to justice barriers created by complex and costly litigation procedures. We held a policy forum on Streamlining the Ontario Civil Justice System (Part
I, Part II), tabled a report on the issues, and worked with the Attorney General to create the Civil Justice Reform Project led by the Honourable Coulter Osborne. As a bencher, I anticipate being able to continue to work on these issues in a way that is meaningful for our whole profession.

A letter from the Lawyers at Paliare Roland Rosenberg Rothstein
Dear Colleague:
LINDA ROTHSTEIN, our tireless leader and managing partner,
has the energy and enthusiasm of a Canadian Idol finalist. Last
year she served as President of The Advocates' Society. Now
she is running for Bencher.
Perhaps you have seen, or at least heard her at one of the many
professional conferences that she regularly attends as a speaker.
Charmingly direct, whether as a public speaker or a crossexaminer,
there is a constant glint in her eye.
