  • The Law Society of Ontario's Assessment of Capacity In
    The Law Society of Ontario’s Assessment of Capacity in Relation to Mental Illness: A Critical Analysis by David Andrew LeMesurier A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Laws Faculty of Law University of Toronto © Copyright by David Andrew LeMesurier 2020 The Law Society of Ontario’s Assessment of Capacity in Relation to Mental Illness: A Critical Analysis David Andrew LeMesurier Master of Laws Faculty of Law University of Toronto 2020 Abstract Over the past 20 years, a number of studies across the globe have found that mental health issues—including substance abuse, depression, anxiety, and other forms of psychopathology— are especially acute in the legal profession. The Law Society of Ontario (“Law Society”), the regulator of the legal professions in the province, has a role to play in addressing these issues, particularly due to its statutory jurisdiction over the capacity of lawyers and paralegals (“licensees”). In this paper, I review in depth the Law Society’s current approach to licensee capacity concerns in its applications before the Law Society Tribunal. My critical examination of the current coercive processes is informed by their impacts on the autonomy interests of licensees. Ultimately, I argue that in light of these impacts, the Law Society’s authority with respect to licensee capacity must be strictly and narrowly interpreted, to the greatest benefit of the individuals at issue. ii Acknowledgments First and foremost, I would like to thank my SJD Advisor, Michaël Lessard, and my Supervisor, Professor Trudo Lemmens, both of whom provided a great deal of appreciated feedback on my initial drafts.
