More about the public forum on access to justice

The Law Society has arranged for excerpts from the public forum on access to justice that we covered in the last issue of ELAN to be made available to the rest of the province. Advance public registration is now closed, but additional seating will be made available on the night of the event.

Clearing the Path to Justice will be held at 6 p.m. (with registration at 5:30 p.m.) on January 28, 2009 at the Wosk Centre in Vancouver. The Law Society will be making video excerpts available via its website within one week of the forum date. In addition, forum moderator Mark Forsythe, host of CBC Radio One’s BC Almanac, will be broadcasting portions of the event on his province-wide show on January 29 between 1 and 2 p.m. It will also be available on his website for one week after the show.

The public forum is put on in partnership with the Legal Services Society, SUCCESS, the Western Canada Society to Access Justice, the Georgia Straight, and CBC.
