The MSF Canada Legal Officer is a voluntary officer position on the Board of Directors. 
The Legal Officer can be an elected director, or can be appointed co-opted for terms 
which are not to exceed one year but which can be renewed annually. The position is 
not mandated by the MSF Canada bylaws, but rather is filled at the discretion of the 
Board. 

The role of the Legal Officer is to assist the Board with legal questions that arise, to 
support the proper functioning of the Board, and contribute a perspective rooted in 
experience of legal practice. The legal officer is expected to contribute to Board 
discussions broadly and not to be confined to issues requiring legal expertise. However, 
when asked for guidance regarding matters of procedure, the legal officer is expected to 
provide a fair and objective opinion maintaining detachment from the legal officer’s views 
on the substance of the matter under discussion. The position is essentially an advisory 
role and does not entail formal legal representation of the Board or the organization. The 
Legal Officer is ordinarily expected to serve on the Governance Committee. 

Duties: 

 • Assists the Board in the performance of its oversight role to ensure legal 
compliance by MSF Canada 

 • Remains watchful for possible legal issues affecting the Board or MSF Canada 
and identifies any concerns to the Board or the appropriate individuals

 • Supports the FICTA department regarding legal document retention and other 
administrative functions with a legal aspect 

 • Supports the President, the Executive Director, and the Executive Committee as 
requested on legally sensitive matters 

 • Contributes a legal perspective to Board deliberations, particularly given that most 
Board members tend to be elected for their medical qualifications and field 
experience 

Requirements: 

 • May not be actively involved in or employed by the executive of any MSF section 

 • Must actively participate in MSF Canada Board meetings (typically 4 face-to-face 
meetings per year plus 8 video conference meetings per year) 

Qualifications:

Description du poste de juriste du Conseil d’administration : 

Fonction : 
 
Le poste de juriste de MSF Canada est un poste bénévole au sein du Conseil 
d'administration (CA). Cette personne peut être élue comme administratrice ou 
administrateur, ou être nommée par cooptation pour un mandat qui ne doit pas 
dépasser un an, mais pouvant être renouvelé chaque année. Cette fonction n’est pas 
prévue par les statuts de MSF Canada, mais relève de la libre appréciation du CA. 


La mission de juriste consiste à apporter son assistance au CA pour toute question 
d’ordre juridique, à soutenir son bon fonctionnement et à apporter un point de vue fondé 
sur l'expérience de la pratique juridique. Il est attendu que la personne en poste 
contribue aux discussions générales du CA, sans se limiter aux questions nécessitant 
une expertise juridique. Toutefois, lorsque son avis est sollicité sur des questions de 
procédure, elle est tenue de fournir des conseils impartiaux et objectifs, en s’abstenant 
d’exprimer ses propres opinions quant au fond du sujet discuté. Cette fonction revêt 
essentiellement un caractère consultatif et n'implique aucune représentation juridique 
officielle du CA ou de l'organisation. La personne occupant le poste doit normalement 
siéger au Comité de gouvernance. 


Responsabilités : 
 

 • Assister le CA dans l'exercice de sa mission de surveillance afin de garantir la 
conformité juridique de MSF Canada. 

 • Anticiper les éventuelles questions juridiques susceptibles d’affecter le CA ou 
MSF Canada, et signaler toute préoccupation au CA ou aux personnes 
compétentes. 

 • Participer à l'orientation des nouveaux membres du CA concernant leur rôle et 
de leurs responsabilités, et aider le CA à exercer ses fonctions conformément 
aux principes de gouvernance efficace. 

 • Conseiller le CA sur les questions de procédure, y compris la bonne conduite 
des réunions du CA. 

 • En cas de besoin, conseiller les membres de l'Association sur les questions de 
procédure soulevées lors de l'Assemblée générale ou d'autres réunions des 
membres, ainsi que sur la bonne conduite des réunions. 


 • Se familiariser avec les règlements de MSF Canada ainsi qu’avec les politiques 
et procédures officielles du CA afin de conseiller ce dernier. Le cas échéant, 
l'aider à rédiger de nouvelles politiques et procédures. 

 • Sous réserve de ses contraintes professionnelles, traiter les questions ou 
problèmes juridiques émanant du CA, de ses sous-comités, de la Direction 
générale et des membres de l'Équipe de direction (avec l'approbation de la 
Direction générale). 

 • En cas de besoin, assister MSF Canada en matière de recours à une assistance 
juridique externe, notamment pour : évaluer les situations où le recours à une 
assistance externe serait adapté, sélectionner et retenir formellement cette 
assistance, et assurer la liaison avec celle-ci. 

 • Soutenir le service des Finances, de l’Informatique et de l’Administration pour la 
conservation des documents juridiques et d'autres fonctions administratives 
ayant un aspect juridique. 

 • En cas de besoin, apporter son soutien aux personnes à la Présidence de 
l’organisation, à la Direction générale et siégeant au Comité exécutif pour toute 
question juridique particulière. 

 • Apporter un éclairage juridique lors des délibérations du CA, d’autant plus que la 
majorité des membres sont généralement élus pour leurs compétences 
médicales et leur expérience de terrain. 

Exigences du poste : 
 

 • Ne pas faire partie de l’équipe de direction de l'un des bureaux de MSF, et ne pas 

avoir de contrat de travail avec l’un d’entre eux 

 • Participer activement aux réunions du Conseil d'administration de MSF Canada 
(généralement jusqu'à quatre réunions en présentiel par an, ainsi que huit 
réunions par visioconférence par an) 


Qualifications : 
 

 • Être titulaire d'une licence d’avocat·e au Canada et avoir au moins cinq ans 

d'expérience dans la pratique juridique 

 • Connaître le fonctionnement des organisations caritatives ou à but non lucratif au 
Canada, les exigences en matière d’établissement de rapports et de conformité, 
ainsi que les pratiques et procédures relatives à la gouvernance. 

 • Faire preuve d’un intérêt pour les enjeux humanitaires 

 • Posséder un esprit critique et la capacité d’apporter de nouvelles perspectives à 

l'Équipe de direction et au CA.
