From Jan. 1 to Oct. 31, 2014, the law society received a total of 4,000 complaints, a decrease from the 4,357 received in the period the previous year.
“We can’t call it a trend,” Lapper said, adding the number of complaints has fluctuated in the past.
Some 3,090 of the complaints received in that time period were against lawyers and 444 were against paralegals. The rest of the complaints related to applicants seeking to become lawyers or paralegals. http://www.canadianlawyermag.com/legalfeeds/
