Good old days' bring nostalgia, but practice of law better in 2018

While some may refer to the legal profession of the 1960s and 70s as the “good old days,” the changes that have taken place since that time have led to an “infinitely better” practice of law, Toronto lawyer and arbitrator Earl Cherniak writes in the Summer 2018 Advocates’ Journal.

Upon his call to the bar of Ontario in 1960, says Cherniak, partner with Lerners LLP, there were 5000 lawyers in Ontario, just about evenly divided between Toronto and the rest of the province.
