Legal Services Support (LSS) focuses on assisting lawyers and firms to deliver legal services competently and ethically, in large part through implementation of a Management System for Ethical Legal Practice (MSELP). The LSS Staff Lawyer works with a team of cross-departmental staff to proactively identify practice risk that can be addressed through proactive practice advice, educational and resource-based approaches. In response to this work, and through the MSELP and other regulatory programs, they create tools and resources to assist in mitigating risk in practice and provide advisory services to support the development of an effective management system for ethical legal practice. LSS staff lawyers work within the Education & Credentials (E&C) team to support the Society’s educational and credentialing priorities broadly.

The next application for disposal of undistributed trust funds will be made in December 2022.  Submissions should be received at the Society’s offices no later than December 7, 2022.
