The Law Commission of Ontario is Ontario’s leading law reform agency. The LCO provides independent, balanced and authoritative advice on complex legal policy issues. Our work promotes access to justice and contributes to public debate.

Current Projects

The LCO’s multiyear AI in the Civil/Administrative Justice System project brings together policymakers, legal professionals, technologists, NGOs and community members to discuss the development, deployment, regulation and impact of artificial intelligence (AI), automated decision-making (ADM) and algorithms on access to justice, human rights, and due process.

The LCO’s Criminal AI Lifecycle project is the first legal and policy reform project in Canada to review how artificial intelligence (AI) impacts each stage in a criminal justice matter. Our goal is to help government and different criminal justice institutions anticipate the risks and benefits of AI on access to justice, due process, human rights, and civil liberties; and to help these institutions identify and adopt concrete and practical legal and policy reform responses to the shared challenges of AI.

The LCO’s Digital Marketplace Initiative collaborated with leading academics in Canada in an innovative, data-driven project to identify law reform options related to so-called “click to consent” or “terms of service” (ToS) contracts.

The LCO’s Improving Protection Orders project is examining why protection orders are not working effectively to prevent femicide and intimate partner violence in Ontario.
