BRIEFS Admissions Ceremony 2009 – Friday, June 12, Pier 21, Halifax Fifty-nine people joined Nova Scotia’s legal profession on June 12, in a new approach to the Society’s Bar Admission Ceremony. Held for the first time outside an actual courtroom, the event in Pier 21’s spacious Kenneth C. Rowe Heritage Hall allowed all June applicants to witness their colleagues called to the Bar at the same time, unlike much smaller ceremonies of the past. Then President, Joel E. Pink QC (left), and new President J. Ronald Creighton QC (right) welcome Nova Scotia’s newest lawyers to the profession. Glenda Thompson signs the Roll of Lawyers alongside Prothonotary Annette Boucher QC. New calls make their official declarations, with Justice Walter R. E. Goodfellow presiding. 6 The Society Record
BRIEFS Annual Meeting 2009 – June 19-20, Inverary Inn, Baddeck The 2009 Annual Meeting probed the practicalities of a serious theme: “The Business of Law During Times of Uncertainty,” finding room for opportunity and good news amid the challenges of the new economic reality. Gerald J. McConnell QC, of Etruscan Resources Inc., tackled the topic in his keynote address, while panels explored everything from succession planning, stress management and bankruptcy to fraud in the current global context. The mood stayed light with a number of leisure activities, such as a sunrise hike led by new President Ron Creighton QC, culinary demonstrations and a riveting performance by Cape Breton’s own Raylene Rankin.
