Mr. Gerald Tremblay
National Committee of Accreditation
c/o Federation of Law Societies of Canada
World Exchange Plaza
45 O'Connor Street
Suite 1810
Ottawa, Ontario, K1P 1A4
Dear Mr. Tremblay:
We welcome the opportunity to provide this submission on behalf of Legal Leaders for
Diversity ("LLD"). LLD is an organization of over 70 general counsel from Canadian
corporations across Canada. We are responding to Trinity Western University's application
for an assessment of whether its proposed common law program meets the Federation's
national requirements. The LLD is dedicated to encouraging diversity and inclusion in our
own businesses and co-operating to foster these values throughout the legal profession and the
larger Canadian business community.
1
The LLD supports the role of the Federation in determining whether new law degree programs
meet national standards for entry to law society licensing programs across Canada and
commends the Special Advisory Committee for its consultation with interested members of the
public on this matter.
We understand that Trinity Western University would request that its students sign a covenant
which would, among other things, require them to abstain "from sexual intimacy that violates
the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman" and if "a student, in the opinion of
the University, is unable, refuses or fails to Jive up to their commitment, the University
reserves the right to discipline, dismiss, or refuse a student's re-admission to the University."
2
The LLD's view is that, such an open exclusion of gay, lesbian and bi-sexual law students is
discriminatory. Furthermore, the establishment of a law school that would reduce the
opportunity for entry for gay, lesbian and bi-sexual students would impose a quota system on
these students, which is unacceptable.

Mr. Gerald Tremblay
National Committee of Accreditahon
As part of the LLD's ongoing commitment to diversity in the workplace we launched "Be an
Advocate" initiatives, a key priority of which is to hire froma diverse pool.
3
A quota system
for any law school would not be aligned with the LLD's core values and, we respectfully
submit, the Federation's Vision Statement of "acting in the public interest by strengthening
Canada's system of governance of an independent legal profession, reinforcing public
confidence in it and making it a leading example for justice systems around the world."
4
In light of the foregoing, we urge the Federation to carefully consider whether Trinity Western
University's application and, in particular, the covenant it intends to impose on its students,
violates the spirit of the legal profession and Canadian law, including the protections afforded
by the
Canadian
Charter
of
Rights and Freedoms
and human rights legislation in all provinces and
territories.
Yours truly,
Executive Commiftee, Legal Leaders for Diversity
