Lawyers are people with special legal training (and a law degree) who are licenced to practice law by their province's law society. The job of the law society is to regulate who can be a lawyer and to protect the public by setting and enforcing standards of professional conduct. Since many people involved in a family law dispute haven't had to deal with lawyers before, this page is about your relationship with your lawyer.
