Ontario Legal Aid Review

A Blueprint for Publicly Funded Legal Services

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Ontario Legal Aid Review was established by the Ontario Government in December 1996 as an independent task force, with a mandate to undertake a comprehensive review of legal aid in Ontario. The Review was asked to consider all legal aid programs in the province with the objective of identifying aspects that should be reduced, maintained or enhanced in order that the current and future legal needs of low-income residents of Ontario can be met in the most effective and efficient way possible.
