WHO IS A PARALEGAL?
In Ontario, a paralegal is an independent, licensed legal professional, regulated by the Law Society of Ontario (LSO). This means that in Ontario, the paralegal is not just a legal assistant who helps lawyers, as in many jurisdictions, but an individual authorized to independently provide some types of legal services. This means that a paralegal can represent clients in:
Small Claims Court
Provincial Offences Court (court that handles traffic tickets and other provincial offences)
The Landlord and Tenant Board, (which handles tenant evictions)
Administrative tribunals (which handle things like disability appeals)
Many matters heard before the Ontario Court of Justice (which handles criminal charges)
A paralegal is also a Commissioner of Oaths by virtue of their office. This means that any paralegal has the power to commission any affidavit.
