>So Paul, I have a question. Are lawyers required to be bilingual in Canada?
Although I do speak some french, you do not have to be bi-lingual.
>If you're in the employ of the government then I bet you are.
No, but it helps.
The Quebec legal system is so different from the rest of Canada, that the government typically employs french lawyers to deal with the civil code legal implications, while the rest of Canada is dealt with by an army of english speaking lawyers.
