THE INSTITUTE OF LAW CLERKS OF ONTARIO ("ILCO") The Institute of Law Clerks of Ontario supports the highest professional standards by providing opportunities to innovate, share ideas and knowledge of best practices. Our distinguished network and specialized education programs are carefully designed to enrich expertise, enhance efficiency, advance the profession, and ultimately protect the interest of the legal team and the clients we serve. It is the mandate of ILCO to provide and promote general and legal education to its members for the purpose of increasing their knowledge, efficiency and professional ability. In addition, ILCO strives to advance and protect the status and interests of the profession. The Law Society of Upper Canada established the name "Law Clerk" and permitted use of this title to members of ILCO in 1968. We must all keep in mind that ILCO is not some vague entity that exists on its own. Rather, it is an association that depends on the volunteer efforts of many individuals who share the goal of furthering our profession. Without this involvement and the volunteer contributions of our members, we would not have the progress we have today, nor our plans for the future. We hope you will join with the members in ensuring the future of ILCO, and our profession. Don't forget to check out our job hotline page at http://www.ilco.on.ca/job-hotline.
