Creating informed citizens and promoting access to justice through knowledge is the mission of the Society and our passion. Education for British Columbians on our law and our justice system is fundamental to having healthy and engaged citizens with confidence in the courts.
Please consider supporting our efforts to ensure that all students in B.C. have access to education on their justice system.
