Toronto Lawyers Association
For more than 135 years, the Toronto Lawyers' Association, located within the Courthouse Library, has represented the interests of lawyers practising in the City of Toronto. The association was founded to support its members in three key areas: Knowledge, Advocacy, and Community. To uphold these pillars, the association offers a year-round mix of online and in-person education programs for lawyers, hosts both free and paid events to foster in-person networking, and submits advocacy pieces on behalf of its members to the Ontario bench and bar, all levels of government, and the broader public.

Neil Guthrie is a lawyer and writer. He was educated at the universities of Toronto (BA, LLB) and Oxford (D Phil). He is a director of professional development, research, and knowledge management at Aird & Berlis LLP. He teaches legal research and writing at the Faculty of Law, University of Toronto, and in the Law Practice Program at Ryerson University.
