Law Society of New Brunswick: 1846 Origins as Barristers' Society.
The Law Society of New Brunswick was created in 1846, when the provincial legislature incorporated what was then called the 'Barristers' Society' to secure a learned and honourable legal profession, ensure order and good conduct among members, and promote law reform.
