Legal groups are expressing alarm at possible changes to the way the provincial government appoints judges in Ontario. The possibility of major changes has led to concern from legal groups and questions as to why the process is even being revamped. “No one has complained about the appointments process,” said Lori Anne Thomas, president of the Canadian Association of Black Lawyers. It will not improve the Ontario Court of Justice. It is a step in the wrong direction,” Michael Lacy, former president of the Criminal Lawyers’ Association, said of possible changes to the process.
