 Letters to the Editor

An Expanded Role for B.C. Paralegals (vol. 17, no. 5)
In your article on page 1 regarding the expanding role of paralegals the following appears: “The Task Force has expressed the view that lawyers should be permitted to allow their paralegals to represent client’s before administrative tribunals if permitted by the tribunals and not prohibited by law.”

In fact, the Task Force expressed no such view. I have now reviewed the Task Force’s report, and the Task Force did not make this egregious error in the use of the apostrophe, which happens to be one of my pet peeves. It would appear that the CBA is solely responsible for this error.

–Harvey Wolfson
