NEW RULES OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT

CTA graphic new rules Rules of conduct amended to implement Federation’s Model Code

Convocation amended the Rules of Professional Conduct and the Paralegal Rules of Conduct to implement the Federation of Law Societies of Canada’s Model Code of Professional Conduct. The Paralegal Professional Conduct Guidelines were also amended.

Key points:

•The amended lawyer and paralegal rules, and paralegal guidelines, come into effect October 1, 2014.

•Most amendments are minor, however some changes are more substantive and introduce new standards – particularly changes to the rules dealing with conflicts of interest, undertakings and withdrawal from representation. See summary of changes – lawyers (PDF) and summary of changes – paralegals (PDF).

•The new lawyer rules include a new numbering scheme that mirrors the Model Code.

•The Law Society is developing new and updating existing resources to assist lawyers and paralegals.

The Law Society is offering free webcasts to ensure that all members can access important information on these changes.

Free webcast on amendments for lawyers – September 8

Free webcast on amendments for paralegals – September 8.

Reports » Report of Appointee’s Five-Year Review of Paralegal Regulation in Ontario, Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General

http://tinyurl.com/mrw4olq

Paralegal regulation began in Ontario, Canada, on May 1, 2007 under the 2006 Access to Justice Act. The Act requires that all paralegals in Ontario shall be licensed by the Law Society of Upper Canada.

To verify that paralegal regulation under the Act was successful, the Act required two reviews after five years. This link will take you to both progress reports, submitted June 28, 2012 and November 1, 2012, respectively.

While visiting this link, I encourage you to poke around and learn more about the Ministry of the Attorney General of Ontario and Canadian law. -CCE
