What action can the Law Society take to discipline a paralegal?

  1. Revoking their license

  2. Increasing their fees

  3. Providing free consultations

  4. Requiring more office supplies

The correct answer is: Revoking their license

The action that the Law Society can take to discipline a paralegal includes revoking their license. This is a significant measure taken in response to serious misconduct or violations of professional standards. The licensing system is designed to ensure that paralegals adhere to the ethical and professional conduct expected in their practice. If a paralegal fails to comply with legal regulations, ethical obligations, or engages in behavior deemed unacceptable, the Law Society has the authority to revoke their license, thereby preventing them from practicing legally. In contrast, the other options such as increasing fees, providing free consultations, and requiring more office supplies are not measures of discipline. These options do not relate to the enforcement of professional standards or ethical compliance. Instead, they may pertain to business practices or operational decisions that do not serve a disciplinary function within the framework of legal practice.
