The Law Society’s Alternative Discipline Process (ADP) diverts lawyers under investigation from the regular discipline process into a confidential, consent-based remedial program addressing health issues linked to misconduct. Launched as a pilot in 2022, the ADP has proven effective and was made permanent earlier this year. Benchers have now approved in principle expanding the ADP to include other health-related competence issues and creating an Alternative Resolution Measures program for non-health-related conduct matters where a remedial approach serves the public interest.
