Judges[edit]

Should Category:Canadian judges be a subcategory of this? That is, is there any possible way that, at any point, someone could have been a Canadian judge without being a Canadian lawyer? Saforrest 20:31, Sep 28, 2004 (UTC)

@Saforrest: More on this topic over at: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Canadian_law#Where_are_all_Judges_lawyers_and_where_are_they_not.3F. XOttawahitech (talk) 19:25, 6 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Who is a lawyer[edit]

The head of this page says that a person with a law degree is a lawyer. This is not correct. Is it intended to use this term in a broader sense (which could account for Joe Clark who neither completed law school nor ever became a lawyer, is included) or do we intend that the actual legal meaning of the term "lawyer" should apply? kgw 06:40, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't the proper category name be Canadian solicitors? NorthernThunder (talk) 10:16, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • The same is true of all the other lawyer categories. Though most of the Canadian lawyers were clearly also from the areas. We could change all the categories to be "in", but there are a lot more of them. Rathfelder (talk) 13:47, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
