Communicate and Network Online

by Patricia Jordan

In the April 2005 issue of BarTalk, I invited Section members to send me an e-mail indicating an interest in their Section’s listserv. I would like to thank all Section members who responded. CBABC is pleased to announce the activation of Section listservs for Administrative Law, Business Law, Civil Litigation, Criminal Justice, Employment Law, Family Law, Immigration Law, Labour Law, Real Property, and Wills & Estates. Please send an e-mail to webmaster@bccba.org if you are interested in joining your Section’s listserv. CBABC will launch additional Section listservs in 2006.

Not a Section member?
You can download a Section enrolment order form at cba.org/bc; look under “Section News” on the home page.

B.C. Lawyers’ Directory Website
As a value of CBA membership, CBABC members have free access to the Lawyers’ Directory portion of the online Directory site at bccbadirectory.org. The Legal Resource Directory (“the white pages”) is available to members for a nominal fee of $20.00. The legal support staff of CBABC members can access the full Directory site for only $32.50 + tax.

Legislative Update - Available Online
Legislative Update, a service funded by CBA membership fees, is now only available online, and only to members, at cba.org/bc in “CBA Publications” under “Legislation & Law Reform.”

New Services
