The Rainy River District Law Association is the association of lawyers serving the Rainy River District in Northwestern Ontario, Canada.

​

Our association was incorporated by letters patent in 1909. Our members practice in Treaty #3 territory, which is the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe, in which the Métis share history.

​

We are based at the Fort Frances Courthouse, where we operate a law library that is open to legal counsel and the public, and a reading room, which is available to legal counsel appearing in courts in Fort Frances.

​

We engage in advocacy on behalf of the practicing bar and to advance access to justice and legal services in our region.

​

Our association is a member of the Federation of Ontario Law Associations. We work closely with the Kenora District Law Association and the Thunder Bay Law Association.

​​

Our current executive members are:

​

• President: Douglas W. Judson

• Vice President: Peter A. Howie

• Treasurer: Paul Brunetta
