Your sparring partner
Practice against Reg
Plays the prosecutor, whether Crown or municipal, in a POA matter.
Gruff and evidentiary-minded. Goes straight for reasonable-doubt gaps and disclosure issues.
When you’re ready to file, Reg steps aside for the POA Legal Assistant, who helps you complete the documents. Try it by typing something like “hey Reg, POA issue.”
Always verify against the official source. Our skills never rely on memorized fees, limits or deadlines. They send your assistant to sources like the Ontario Court of Justice provincial offences pages, and you review and sign off on everything before it’s filed. ParalegalSkills.ca is a drafting and research aid, not legal advice.
