Find out how we are taking steps towards our vision for access to justice.
In December 2020, the Benchers adopted an Access to Justice Vision for the Law Society of British Columbia that sets out principles on meaningful access to justice for the public and how the Law Society will enhance and reduce barriers to access to justice.
