The "total" count represents the number of lawyers providing legal aid services across Canada as reported by legal aid plans. The ratio of private to staff lawyers does not necessarily reflect the proportion of work that is done by each group.          
Figures are as of March 31.          
These are the number of full-time positions. Part-time staff only back-fill permanent positions. The nine direct legal service staff includes the Director of Legal Aid who provides some direct legal service to clients.          
In Ontario, the private lawyer count includes per diem duty counsel.          
Includes three lawyers resident in Alberta providing services in the Northwest Territories.          
In 2009/2010, the number of lawyers and non-lawyer staff increased to assist in dealing with the volume of matters proceeding in the Nunavut Court of Justice.          
Note(s): For more details on legal aid concepts and terminology refer to the glossary.
