Distinction between « Practising advocate » and « Canadian legal advisor »
The Canadian legal advisor may use the prefix “Me” or “Mtre” before his name provided it is followed by the title “Canadian legal advisor” or the initials “c.l.a.” and a reference to the Canadian province or territory where he is legally authorized to practise law.
He may give legal advice and consultations on legal matters involving the law of the Canadian province or territory where he is legally authorized to practise law or involving matters under federal jurisdiction or public international law.
He may prepare and draw up proceedings and plead or act before any tribunal, but only with respect to matters under federal jurisdiction.
Please contact the Barreau du Québec at infobarreau@barreau.qc.ca to know the Canadian province or territory where this Canadian legal advisor is legally authorized to practise law and for more details on the restrictions that apply to this type of permit.
