n April 21, 2007, the BC Branch of the Canadian Bar Association held its province-wide “Dial-A-Lawyer” program between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm. During that time, members of the public were invited to call and speak with a lawyer for up to 15 minutes. We received 235 calls, 78 of those calls were directed to Chinese speaking lawyers who were recruited by S.U.C.C.E.S.S.

We wish to thank the many lawyers who generously volunteered their time and helped make this event a success.

"I enjoy participating in Dial-A-Lawyer day as the callers are for the most part very appreciative of our advice. I enjoy listening to each caller’s story, identifying the issues and discussing potential steps to be taken. The concept of a yearly free-legal-advice-day presents lawyers in a positive light.” John McGreevy, Dial-A-Lawyer volunteer since 2004.
