The Order of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate, a religious group in Canada, hired Mobina Jaffer and her firm to defend the Order in a sexual abuse case. From 2000 to 2004, Jaffer represented the Order of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate; after her work was done, she billed the religious organization $5 million for her services and the services of her law firm.

The Order of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate sued Mobina Jaffer, Azool Jaffer-Jeraj (the Senator’s son), and the law firm for the extraordinary bill. The lawsuit was settled out-of-court, but Jaffer now faces a conduct review by the Law Society of British Columbia in light of these recent events.

Stuart Cameron, the Director of Discipline for the Law Society of British Columbia, says “a conduct review is a serious matter for any lawyer.” Should misconduct be found in the Senator’s past, the review’s findings could have drastic ramifications on Jaffer’s career as one of Canada’s top lawyers.
