Convocation approved practice reviews as an integral part of assuring the continuing competence of lawyers.
Practice reviews are intended to be proactive and to assist lawyers in strengthening their practice management skills. Our reviewers work closely with the lawyer to provide personalized guidance aimed at helping the lawyer correct deficiencies with their systems before they result in serious non-compliance, competence or misconduct issues. The approach is first and foremost remedial in nature.
However, if serious misconduct is observed, reviewers, like all licensees, are obliged under the Rules of Professional Conduct, to report that misconduct.
