Law Society of Upper Canada
The Law Society of Upper Canada (LSUC) is responsible for the self-regulation of lawyers in the province of Ontario. Founded in 1797, the motto of the Society is "Let Right Prevail". It is known in French as "Le Barreau du Haut-Canada".
History
The Law Society of Upper Canada was founded in 1797. It was created almost 20 years before the earliest such association in any other province or territory. The creation of this self-governing body by an Act of the Legislative Assembly was an innovation in the English-speaking world and it became the model for law societies across Canada.
