Mr. McGrady and Ms. Fries have both written and presented on a variety of topics including human rights, labour law, and the law of protest.
This is an introductory level workshop which will aim to provide an overview of how injunctions are used in the context of protests and the difference between civil and criminal contempt proceedings which can follow from the breach of an injunction.

This 1 hour webinar will demonstrate some of the great features of Quickscribe 2.0. Quickscribe 2.0 is accessible on all Courthouse Libraries BC Public Access Computers and provides access to the most current versions of BC statutes and regulations.

A review of the new QS keyword email alert feature will also be covered.

Complete an Ethics Study Kit
Our study kits have been put together to assist you in completing your BC Lawyers’ Continuing Professional Development credits. These three kits count towards the CPD requirement for:
- professional responsibility and ethics
- client care and relations
- practice management
We’ve gathered articles and, in some cases, a scenario for you to review that highlight potential areas of concern for lawyers in practice. We’ve then set out a list of potential questions relating to the material you’ve read.
They are designed to be done in groups of two or more - think of it like a book club for lawyers. We suggest that you meet for one to two hours to discuss.
You must be logged in to access these study kits.
