Lawyer Replaced Counsel and Solicitor

For better or worse we are no longer counsel or solicitor – we are just “lawyer”.

Pursuant to Ontario Regulation 575/07 effective July 1, 2008, Civil Litigation Forms under the Rules of Civil Procedure were amended by substituting the word "lawyer" for the words "solicitor" or "counsel" wherever they appeared.

A complete description of the changes is in the January 5, 2008, edition of The Ontario Gazette vol. 141-01.
