2015 Initiatives:
Continue to increase the range of online practice resources to assist lawyers in
achieving excellence in their practices.
Continue to explore ways to increase consumer access to legal services through
refinements to our regulatory structure including the introduction of alternate business
structures.
To support the goal of becoming a more pro-active regulator, a key piece of work in
2015 will be to move towards the development of a comprehensive quality legal services
program. In order to move this program forward in 2015, we will complete the review and
assessment of existing Law Society programs which support the competency of lawyers,
including, among others, the CPD program. These programs will be evaluated, and
where necessary modified, to ensure they align with current goals. In addition, work will
continue on the development of new program initiatives which support the goal of early
intervention. Finally, we will continue to collaborate with CPLED, LESA, the Federation
of Law Societies and other stakeholders to identify best practices and encourage
creative approaches.
