  n Saturday, April 19, 2008, the Canadian Bar Association, BC Branch 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. In 2008 we received 236 calls, 118 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 volunteer their time for this event.
"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.”
