Teleconference Available
CBA is committed to making Section meetings widely available.

We welcome your suggestions for enhancing the inclusiveness of our activities. Please contact Section Co-Chair, Grace Choi at grace_choi@davis.ca or Fran Hodgkins, CBABC Sections Coordinator at fhodgkins@bccba.org to pass along your suggestions.
Please note: the Law Society now requires lawyers to report annually on their professional development activities. The Benchers also now encourage each practising lawyer in BC to complete a minimum of 12 hours of coursework (the equivalent of two full course days) and 50 hours of self-study each year. The targets are set as minimum expectations for the profession but are not mandatory. Attendance at CBA Section presentations is reportable as coursework, and review of Section minutes/materials is reportable as self-study hours (as long as it is not for the purpose of research for a file/case).
