April is an important month for B.C.’s legal community with Law Week events taking place across the province, and law students finishing their exams and on the lookout for their first positions as professionals. Law Week events provide British Columbians with accurate information about the law and seek to address the theme of Public Confidence in the Justice System. Career Services Offices at UBC and UVic law schools urge firms to hire articling students and lend their support to the future generation of lawyers. Elsewhere in this edition, legal ethics are examined through a case study of the recent Hollywood blockbuster Michael Clayton, while the Land Trust Alliance of B.C. uses its “plot” to explain and promote the practice of “ecological gifting.”
