The process for licensing new lawyers in Ontario is in the midst of significant change following the Law Society of Upper Canada’s approval of a recommendation by it’s Articling Task Force to introduce of a 3-year pilot project that will provide a program of practical legal training as an alternative to articling.  This article describes and critically analyzes these changes and the process that led to them in relation to three aspects of access to justice: access to the legal profession, access to legal services, and access to legal governance.  The analysis reveals numerous shortcomings that provide lessons that could be applied to the proposal for evaluating the pilot project as well as to the Law Society’s recently announced initiative to overhaul its institutional approach to access to justice. Le processus d’acces a la profession qui s’applique aux nouveaux avocats en Ontario fait actuellement l’objet de changements importants. Le Barreau du Haut-Canada a approuve un projet pilote de trois ans recommande par son Groupe de travail sur le stage, dans le cadre duquel il sera possible de suivre un programme de pratique du droit plutot que de faire un stage. Le present article decrit et analyse de facon critique ces changements – ainsi que le processus ayant mene aux changements – par rapport a trois aspects de l’acces a la justice : l’acces a la profession juridique, l’acces aux services juridiques et l’acces a la gouvernance juridique. L’analyse fait ressortir de nombreuses lacunes qui pourraient servir de lecons a appliquer a la proposition d’evaluation du projet pilote ainsi qu’a l’initiative recemment annoncee du Barreau visant a reviser son approche institutionnelle a l’acces a la justice.
