CBABC encourages and creates environments for Indigenous lawyers to be welcomed and feel supported.
Indigenous Lawyers Waiver of Dues Program
CBABC encourages opportunities for the advancement of Indigenous lawyers in the legal profession. We do this by supporting more Indigenous lawyers to access the benefits of a CBABC membership.
The Indigenous Lawyers Waivers of Dues Program seeks to make CBABC accessible to those who would otherwise be unable to afford membership.
Aboriginal Law Student Scholarship Trust
In 2008, CBABC established the Aboriginal Law Student Scholarship Trust in partnership with INDSPIRE, a national Indigenous registered charity that invests in the education of First Nations, Inuit and Métis people for the long-term benefit of these individuals, their families, communities and Canada.
With the generous support of a myriad of contributors and matching funds from the Law Foundation of BC, the scholarship has supported many Indigenous students entering law schools. Today, many of these lawyers contribute to the work of CBABC.
