New Courses and Publications
CLEBC will be presenting several new courses this spring and fall. Strata Property: All Stacked Up will be held on June 5, and will complement CLEBC’s newest publication, the Strata Property Practice Manual. Members of the book’s Editorial Board will present and lead discussions on important strata property law issues including privacy, Strata Property Act section 164 applications and remedies, insurance, “sections” created under Strata Property Act sections 192 or 193, duty to repair and maintain, and human rights. Fall courses under development include China Business Law, Statements by an Accused, and Pro Bono Practice. The latter course will be presented on September 17 in conjunction with the 2nd National Pro Bono Conference, which is being held on September 18 and 19 in Vancouver.

The new Annual Review of Law and Practice, current to January 1, 2008, will be released in late March. The Annual Review is published to update the profession on all major areas of legal practice. Written by B.C. lawyers with recognized expertise in their practice areas, the 17th edition contains 33 chapters, and reviews 2007 legislative amendments, case law and practice changes. This publication is an affordable and reliable way for busy British Columbia practitioners to monitor legal and practice changes during the last year.
