On March 30, 2011, the Family Law Section and Trusts and Estates Section of the Ontario Bar Association are holding a joint event to meet the Province's new Children's Lawyer, Ms. Lucy McSweeney. Ms. McSweeney was appointed to the position of Children's Lawyer for Ontario on September 18, 2010. I understand that Ms. McSweeney's legal background includes civil litigation, human rights, constitutional and labour law. The Office of the Children's Lawyer is part of the Ministry of the Attorney General and provides legal services on behalf of children under the age of 18, and in estates, on behalf of the unborn and unascertained, as well.

Ms. McSweeney will address both the Family Law and the Trusts and Estates Sections. This event will allow those in attendance to meet and hear Ms. McSweeney. The program chairs are Dan Goldberg, Senior Counsel, Office of the Children's Lawyer (Personal Rights) and Susan Stamm, Counsel, Office of the Children's Lawyer (Property Rights).
