SHOULD THE LAW SOCIETY OF ONTARIO CONDUCT ITS DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDINGS ACCORDING TO CRIMINAL COURT PRINCIPLES?

In A Criminal Court, A Judge Can Only Reject A Joint Submission On Sentence Where Accepting It Would Bring The Administration Of Justice Into Disrepute Or Is Otherwise Contrary To The Public Interest. If A Judge Does Reject Such A Joint Submission He/she Is Supposed To Give The Accused The Opportunity To Withdraw The Plea And Reconsider. The LSO Apparently Does Not Do This.”
