What is a Paralegal (Ontario, Canada)?

If you need help with a lawsuit in Ontario, but you can't afford a lawyer, you might be able to hire a paralegal to represent you at a hearing, or give you a legal advice consultation, depending on which court or tribunal your matter is in.
*NOTE: Our Guest speaker Kristy McLaren does NOT represent people at court.***
In part 1 of our video series on paralegals and law clerks, we discuss how paralegals serve the public.
Catch part 2 next week on law clerks!
Special guest, paralegal and law clerk Kristy McLaren.
