Public Interest and Innovation Committee
The Public Interest and Innovation Committee is a standing committee of SOAR. Its terms of reference are as follows:
Identify emerging public interest issues and innovative ideas of relevance to the administrative justice community.
Make recommendations for how SOAR can best pursue or respond to issues and ideas, and advocate on behalf of the SOAR membership on matters of concern to the membership.
Create and maintain processes for the active engagement of the SOAR membership in the work of the Committee.
Foster working relationships with other organizations to develop partnerships on public interest issues of concern to the administrative justice community.
The Committee has embarked on a project which will lead to a statement of principles on re-appointments for members of adjudicative tribunals. The first phase of this project consists of a study of the impact of the “ten-year cap” on appointments. We hope to have this research completed in the next few months and to make it available as a contribution to a discussion about the impact of the cap on Tribunals, members and the public. The second phase of the project will involve research into how other jurisdictions deal with the issue of term limits on appointments to adjudicative tribunals.
If you are interested in becoming involved in the work of the Committee or have suggestions for further projects that the Committee could undertake, please consider volunteering by contacting our Executive Director, Daphne Simon, at daphne@soar.on.ca.
