Omar Ha-Redeye spoke to Hayden Narine of CogecoTV Halton on the new reforms considered by the Ministry of the Attorney General:

  • Which types of legal services, if provided by paralegals and other legal service providers, could improve the family justice system?
  • Should paralegals and other legal service providers, such as law clerks and law students, be allowed to handle certain family law matters?
  • How should the Province and the Law Society of Upper Canada ensure the accountability of persons such as paralegals, law clerks and law students, if they are allowed to handle certain family law matters?

The open consultation ends April 30, 2016.
