Criminal Justice Section Maintains In-Person Connection

 

April 2024

Much of our work depends on building solid relationships — with our clients, opposing counsel and with our colleagues. While the transition to online court appearances, meetings and conferences has increased access to justice and educational opportunities, it has also reduced the time we spend learning with one another in dynamic settings that are hard to replicate online.

We prioritize reconnecting in-person at meetings, while still offering the remote option for all our members. We held three well-attended hybrid meetings this term: two discussed civility and professionalism, followed by a third on ineffective assistance of counsel claims. Each meeting included esteemed panelists with invaluable insights, including Supreme Court of BC and Court of Appeal Justices, Provincial Court Judges and skilled counsel.

Come say hello at our next meeting, in-person or through the chat!
