New Year, New Law? Not Always

With a new year comes new legislation, and a common assumption: if a law is repealed, it’s gone for good. However, that is not always the case. Despite the finality implied by the word, repeal often produces unexpectedly nuanced legal effects.

Happy Holidays!

As we approach the holiday season, I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to our dedicated library team and to the Law Society licensees and members of the public we serve. This year has been one of meaningful progress and careful preparation for 2026 , made possible through the support and collaboration of colleagues across the Law Society and our partner organizations.

We wish you a peaceful holiday season and all the very best in the year ahead.
