      Historique

      The Office of the Children's Lawyer was formed in 1996, continuing the function of representing children under 18 with respect to their personal and property rights. This responsibility was previously performed by the Official Guardian Branch. The Office of the Children's Lawyer is part of the Social Justice Services Division (SJSD), which was formed after the Civil Law Division was abolished in 1997 and its functions were dispersed to the SJSD and the Public Law & Policy Division.

      Fonctions et activités

      The Office of the Children's Lawyer investigates, advocates, protects and represents the personal and property rights and obligations of children under 18, and in some cases, unborn children. The Office is involved in proceedings before the courts and tribunals of Ontario in various areas of law including child custody and access disputes, child protection proceedings, estate matters and civil litigation. For example, parents may fail or refuse to protect and secure the personal and property rights of their children, and when they do so, the administrative staff, clinical investigators, and lawyers of the Office of the Children's Lawyer advocate on behalf of those children and advance their interests in the justice system.
