Members of the Canadian Bar Association on Sunday voted against forbidding lawyers to have sex with clients.I'm sure Jordan is happy with this decision.
The Bar Association's annual conference in Winnipeg debated two separate resolutions.
The first would have imposed a total ban on sexual relations between lawyers and clients.
The other, more moderate, proposal, would have prohibited lawyers from having affairs with "vulnerable" clients, such as those involved in immigration, criminal and family law disputes.
The organization, which represents 38,000 Canadian lawyers, conducted a heated and passionate debate on the issue.
In the end, both motions were defeated. Lawyers at the conference said that sex with vulnerable clients was already prohibited under general rules about acting in a client's best interests, and acting objectively.
