The Nova Scotia Barristers’ Society regulates the legal profession in Nova Scotia in the public interest. Ensuring that lawyers are competent and ethical, and practise law in accordance with the standards set by the Society, is how we fulfil our public interest mandate.
The Society is obligated to set and enforce standards of competence and ethics for lawyers. These requirements are applied when individuals seek to become lawyers, through the profession’s rigorous admissions process. Standards that address ethical requirements, the handling of trust funds and financial security also apply to all practising lawyers.
Along with its role as a regulator, the Society also strives to improve the administration of justice in the province. Through linkages with the Courts, government departments and participants in the justice system, the Society seeks to facilitate dialogue and cooperation that will improve all aspects of the justice system for Nova Scotians.
The Society is an independent, trusted and respected regulator of the legal profession. Acting in the public interest, we provide leadership, value and support to a competent, ethical, inclusive and engaged legal profession. We enable the legal profession to enhance access to justice and uphold the rule of law.
