CHAIR CHAT Chair Chat Emily Lawrence, Paliare Roland Rosenberg Rothstein LLP Happy autumn! Even though I have not been a student for many years, September still feels like the beginning of a new year, with new goals and challenges. As the leaves turn and temperatures drop, this season has been one of gratitude and reflection for me. First, at least in my professional and personal circles, it seems that people are returning to their offices, moving slowly towards in-court attendances, and shuttling their kids to in-person school. I have greatly missed the collegiality of in-person gatherings and energy of in-person advocacy. The 10+ Standing Committee continues to develop programming for mentorship best practices, both virtually and in-firm, as we transition back to the office. I encourage you to read Megan Keenberg’s inaugural column on mentorship in this issue. I also encourage to you attend our virtual and (hopefully) in-person events in the coming months. Second, this fall has been a period of reflection and education. During the first National Day of Truth and Reconciliation, my firm encouraged our lawyers and staff to consider how the legal community can use its privilege and power to advance reconciliation and the Calls to Action made by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, with the facilitation of an Indigenous scholar. I spent this day, and Thanksgiving Day, reflecting on Canada’s colonial past, the justice system that has bolstered the oppression of Indigenous peoples, and the role of advocates within that system. The roundtable article in this issue on representing Indigenous peoples and advancing reconciliation with three lawyers practising in that area is an excellent resource, as is the Guide for Lawyers Working with Indigenous Peoples, available on The Advocates’ Society’s website in both English and French. Have a safe and happy autumn season. 5
