Post Auditor General's report on Legal Aid
The Ontario Auditor General's Report came out today, here's the section on Legal Aid, if anyone is interested in reading:

Edited to add that there's also a section on The Office of the Children's Lawyer:

Very interesting. It takes them 30 days to obtain court records to verify a lawyer's billing against the actual proceedings. Very sad that they don't do this on every file.

Good Luck!

Thanks, the section on The OCL does provide me some background info for my case where they are going to represent my kids.
