Due to the wide and varied membership of the BC Branch of the Canadian Bar Association, many different writers make representations to government and other bodies on its behalf. In an attempt to standardize the appearance of submissions, the Branch has prepared a style manual. We suggest that those who are preparing submissions on behalf of the Branch follow the format set out. Click here to read about submission guidelines.
