Consistent with our commitment to provide resources that help BC's lawyers practice competently, we continually expand our collection to include educational materials related to Truth and Reconciliation.
Indigenous inter-cultural competency is considered by the Law Society of BC to be a necessary component of overall competency to practice law. These resources help lawyers expand their knowledge beyond the LSBC's mandatory course.
