Keeping Current

In 2012 The Law Society of B.C. announced the expansion of roles for paralegals. The two-year pilot project began in January , 2013 as Family Law Paralegals started to appear in chambers on select applications. As with articled students it was incumbent on the supervising lawyer to ensure that the scope of representation a paralegal takes on is commensurate with her or his abilities. These initiatives are being taken specifically to address the need for greater access to affordable legal services in a number of areas. On January 13, 2021, an article was written in the Vancouver Sun by Ian Mulgrew mentioning that The Law Society's new Strategic Plan 2021-2025 will help people and give them "access to justice" as stated by president Dean Lawton. Lawton believes the plan will "allow paralegals, tech companies, entrepreneurs and others to offer some legal services that until now have been available only through a lawyer". We await further exciting news.
