Hi Dolly,\n\nThere is a code of professional conduct set down by the Law Society. The solicitor must act in a professional manner at all times and work in the best interests of his client when taking instructions. \n\nIf he acts in any way inappropriately he could find himself before a disciplinary hearing of the Law Society and could be disqualified from practising law.\n\nIf you know that the allegations you are stating are true and you are a victim or know of victims and they are prepared to come forward and make a complaint then do so with urgency.\n\nThis type of behaviour with clients is unacceptable and must be stopped.\n\nI hope this helps.\n\nGood luck.

Hi,\nIf you mean what is there job then i can help. Juries in america and canada are chosen from a databank - usually a mailing list. They are asked to attend court and must do so. They are paid very little compensation, but it is a civic duty so, thats not a serious issue. Juries are charged with the duty of deciding ones fate after all the evidence is presented by the crown prosecutor/district attorney and defence lawyers. Juries have to decide beyond a reasonable doubt that the individual is guilty. Also, juries, in Canada, are not allowed to speak about the experience whereas jurors in the US are allowed to discuss the case in length. Juries are often sequestered, which means they cannot have contact with the public or there families (during the case) as the judicial process must be impartial and free from outside influence. Juries can consist of 6,8, or 12 depending on the state, but in Canada juries are often 12 members and the decision must be unanimous and if not, its called a "hung jury". Additionally, juries are made of lay people from the community hence, jury of your peers. Also, there is such a term called "jury nullification, which means that the jury doesn't like the law and feel for the accused they will decide based on there opinion and not the law. For example, see R v. Morgentaler 1985 (Canadian case on abortion). I am sure there is more, but i cannot recall. Ciao from Canada.

Lawyers are officers of the court and support the system - the Constitution - and ensure the process works.   Lawyers do not let bad people out into the community.  The Constitution has a process where the guilt or innocence of a defendant can be determined.  If an accused is not convicted, not charged, etc., then the adversarial process has "let them out."  The government's lawyers will zealously represent the government and do what it can to charge and convict while the defense attorney must zealously represent their client's interests.  Lawyers do know the difference between "bad people and good people," but that is irrelevant.  In the US, every individual is entitled to legal representation.  \n\nImagine if you were arrested for watching that movie because it is a crime to watch criminal dramas and popular opinion was people who watch those movies should go to jail.  Now imagine the government throwing everything it had to ensure you go to jail.  Alternatively, imagine you are accused of being a pedophile and are arrested/charged, but you really are just a sweet person who has been wrongfully accused.  Should lawyers not represent you because you're a bad person?\n\nThe world is only black and white if you pretend it is.

Attorneys are, first and foremost, Officers of the Court.  If they are aware of evidence of a criminal offense, or receive evidence of such an offense, they are legally and ethically bound to turn that over to the court(s).

Canadian law cannot control the laws of India. You would have to check the legality of trust in India relating to land ownership or other non moveable assets.

The Queen is a figurehead.  She exercises no control.  Her representative in Canada is the Governor General, who is appointed by the Prime Minister, who leads the party who won the majority seats in the House of Commons.\n\nWe pick the PM, he picks the Governor General.  We control our country.  We are thus sovereign.  The Queen represents our roots and gives our laws their legality.

Usually a third.  However, lawyers are ethically bound to actually earn the money they make.  That means for a really large award, lawyers will not be allowed to take a third.  For a really large award, they may not even get ten percent.

This is a link for some immigration lawyers in the Vancouver, BC, area.  I couldn't tell you a good one from a bad one but the link gives some guidelines on how to pick a lawyer and also gives the names of some.\n\nhttp://www.canadalegal.info/prov-bc/lawyers-vancouver/vancouver-immigration.html\n\nThat said, I don't know if you would be wiser to pick a lawyer located in Canada or one who specializes in immigration to Canada but is situated in the country you are coming from.\n\nBena
