Licensing
Paralegals are licensed under the Law Society of Upper Canada. As part of its mandate the Law Society accredits paralegal education programs in Ontario, approved by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities.
It is important to note for consumers that paralegal applicants that apply for paralegal licensing under the Law Society after June 30, 2010 must have graduated from an accredited legal services program.In other jurisdictions however, such as the United Kingdom, the lack of local legal profession/judiciary oversight means that the definition of paralegal encompasses non-lawyers doing legal work, regardless of who they do it for. Although most jurisdictions recognize paralegals to a greater or lesser extent, there is no international consistency as to definition, job-role, status, terms and conditions of employment, training, regulation or anything else and so each jurisdiction must be looked at individually.
