CBA lawyers and UBC law students gathered in October at UBC’s Cecil Green for the annual UBC/CBA Mentorship Reception. The reception was the best-attended mentorship event in the program’s history.

The program, which offers UBC law students the opportunity to foster interaction with professionals in the legal community, matched 147 UBC law students with lawyers for the 2004-2005 academic year. Program organizers commend CBA members for their incredible commitment to the program. This year, there were more lawyers committed to volunteering than UBC law students available, and this situation enabled, for the first time, some UVic law students to be matched with Vancouver-based lawyers.

For more information on the current program or to volunteer for next year, please e-mail Alissa Macpherson, UBC/CBA Student Representative (ubc_cba_mentorship_program@yahoo.ca).
