Social Justice Law Conference 2020: Changing Systems - What Can Lawyers and Advocates Do?

This year's Social Justice Law Conference builds on the commitments made at previous conferences to develop and support access to justice in BC and to enhance the specialized skills that lawyers, legal advocates, and law students need for practicing in social justice fields of law. This day long conference provides an excellent opportunity for networking, professional development, and discussing current issues.

We are delighted to have Kasari Govender, Human Rights Commissioner of BC, give the keynote address. Panel topics include: an intersectional approach to the climate crisis; issues arising from the expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) into the realm of judicial, tribunal and government decision-making; Trans Rights and A2J barriers for trans and non-binary individuals; and effective strategies for collaboration among lawyers and legal advocacy groups in changing systems to increase gender equality and refugee rights.

Law Society of BC approval for 5 CPD Credits.
