      History

      The Legal Services Branch of the Ontario Ministry of Colleges and Universities was established in 1988 and attached to the Deputy Minister's Office. Prior to 1988, legal services for the Ministry were provided by the Legal Services Branch of the Ontario Ministry of Skills Development (from 1986-1988), and by the Legislation Branch of the Ontario Ministry of Education (from 1983-1986).

      In 1993, the Ministry of Colleges and Universities ceased to exist as a separate Ministry, and its Legal Services Branch was disbanded. The functions of the Branch were continued by the Legal Services Group and the Policy and Legislation Group of the new Ministry of Education and Training.
