This session will bring together leading U.S. reformers that are at the cutting edge of efforts to reform rules that prohibit non-lawyers from using their knowledge of the law to help other people. We will also hear from Canada, where in the province of Ontario thousands of independent community paralegals deliver legal services without lawyer supervision. Panelists will share why they see regulatory reform as an access to justice imperative, and describe the steps they are taking to mitigate any fears of consumer harm.
Simultaneous interpretation will be provided in Spanish for this session. Keynote
