Hello! I will be reviewing this article for GA status. My review should be posted within the next few days. Cheers, Nikkimaria (talk) 03:51, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately I feel this article is not yet at GA standard. Feel free to renominate once the below issues have been addressed. Nikkimaria (talk) 14:24, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"About the organization" is not an appropriate section heading - the article as a whole is about the organization
Use "1950s", etc instead of "50s" in section headings
A number of sections are overly listy, and should be written in prose
Lead does not adequately summarize the article, and is rather unencyclopedic in tone (particularly the second sentence)
Per WP:LAYOUT, External links should come after references, and should not duplicate cited sources. Also, Footnotes subheading is unnecessary, as it is the only subheading under References
See also should not include links that are or should be linked in article text

Footnotes should appear after punctuation
Some sections are completely unreferenced
Use a consistent reference format
Need more third-party sources - over-reliance on the organization's website
"modeled on similar doctrines in England and Scotland" - the ref describes the doctrines of England, but does not support the assertion that Ontario's doctrines are based on those
Avoid original research and synthesis

~~"Aboriginal legal rights" section does not seem to be connected to the article topic~~
"About the organization" should be recast and expanded

No issues noted
