Annual Review of Law and Practice
CLE volunteer authors are working on the upcoming Annual Review of Law and Practice. Now in its ninth edition, the Annual Review provides an easy and affordable way to keep on top of pivotal issues and trends in BC law and practice. Each edition contains concise, accessible commentary about the main legislative, case law, and practice changes in BC. Written by leading commentators, this indispensable resource will be available in March.

CLE Spring Courses Start at 9:30 AM
CLE is pleased to announce a new 9:30 am start time for most of our Spring Courses (April to June) in Vancouver! Many of you have told CLE that a 9:30 start time will make it easier for you to participate in CLE courses. Victoria lawyers, Local & County Bar Presidents, and the CLE Board of Directors all support this effort to serve you better. Starting at 9:30 will give Victoria and Island lawyers a chance to catch a morning ferry and make it to the course on time. This is a pilot project, we would appreciate your feedback. Please call 1.800.663.0437, or 604.669.3544, or email custserv@cle.bc.ca.
