History
On 16 June 1988, Attorney General Ian Scott announced the establishment of a study of paralegals in Ontario, to be headed by Dr. Ron Ianni, President of the University of Windsor.
After holding public hearings and individual consultations, receiving written submissions, and undertaking research in other jurisdictions, Dr. Ianni, with the support of an advisory committee, submitted his report to the Attorney General of Ontario in September 1990.

The Ontario Task Force on Paralegals examined the role of independent paralegals with a view toward offering recommendations concerning their future operations. Specific issues considered include: the current level of independent paralegal activity in Ontario, and its potential for growth; how independent paralegal activities might be regulated and controlled; whether the government or the Law Society of Upper Canada should be directly involved in the regulation of independent paralegals; whether educational, training and ethical standards were required; where responsibility for education and training of paralegals should lie; and what areas of law should be open for practice by independent paralegals.
