Paralegals act independently to represent clients in provincial offences court for cases involving highway traffic offences, municipal by-law issues, liquor licensing, occupational health and safety, and civil litigation matters presented in small claims court.

In Ontario, paralegals are non-lawyer licensed agents who provide the public with legal services in specified areas of practice for a fee.
