This pivotal session is being offered in celebration of Access to Justice Week in BC.
It is now apparent that the opportunities and demands facing 22st-century lawyers differs fundamentally from those that preceding generations encountered. Leading these opportunities and demands is the crystalizing crisis in access to justice. We must define the knowledge, skills, and attributes required of tomorrow’s and today’s lawyers, equipping them with a new and better set of competencies with which to tackle the Access to Justice problem and every other challenge of this century.
Legal sector analyst Jordon Furlong will deliver a keynote presentation that frames the overarching problem, describes the 21st-century lawyer competence profile, and explains how every stakeholder in the legal profession can use these new competencies to help address the access predicament. In the second half of the event, BC lawyers will join Jordan to discuss these developments in current practice.
This event is made possible by the Law Society of BC, CBABC, the Continuing Legal Education Society of BC, the Law Foundation, Courthouse Libraries, BC/s Law Schools and Access to Justice BC.
Open for registration for all law students, members of the academy and lawyers. You don’t need to be a CBABC member to attend.
