1 FACT SHEET Statistical Snapshot of Lawyers in Ontario from the Lawyer Annual Report (LAR) 2014 Response Rates The Law Society of Upper Canada has been collecting self-identification data in the Lawyer Annual Report since The structure of the survey at the time permitted the lawyer to opt to pass over the question and provide no response. This option has been modified so that, while a lawyer can still decline to self-identify, the person must now so indicate by expressly entering this response. Response rates for each question* Aboriginal 89.0% 77.5% Sexual orientation 82.1% Francophone 90.6% *There is no missing data for gender, which is obtained from administrative records.
