TORONTO — A Toronto lawyer who says he felt humiliated when a security guard denied him entry to the headquarters of Ontario’s law society has settled the racial profiling complaint he made to the province’s human rights tribunal. “The law society appreciates that Mr. Pieters has brought this issue to light,” the two sides said in a joint statement. The law society had denied racial profiling occurred and maintained the security guard had followed proper protocols. In deciding to settle the dispute “amicably,” the society said it would communicate its entry procedures to lawyers and paralegals. “The law society has never been more committed to addressing these issues than it is today,” the statement said.
