Legal profession in Canada

The legal profession in Canada comprises lawyers (called "barristers" and "solicitors" historically) who provide legal advice, represent clients in court, and help navigate the law. They must complete extensive education, including a university law degree, practical training, and licensing exams. Legal professionals work in various fields like criminal law, family law, business, and more. They are regulated by provincial or territorial law societies that set standards for ethical practice and discipline. Overall, Canadian lawyers ensure the justice system functions fairly and clients' legal rights are protected.
