Should paralegals handle family law property division, real estate transactions, mergers and acquisitions, or the drafting of wills? CBABC is preparing a submission in response to the Ministry of Attorney General’s draft recommendations on the scope of practice for Regulated Paralegals, a new category of legal professional established by B.C.'s new Legal Professions Act.
Assume that the future regulator sets appropriate education, competency and insurance requirements. Are the proposed scopes of practice appropriate?
Your insights will help shape CBABC’s submission on what legal services Regulated Paralegals should be able to provide.
