The Trial Lawyers Association of BC is organizing a public awareness campaign entitled "The Battle for Legal Aid" that encourages lawyers to wear light blue ribbons to court in support of legal aid renewal in BC.  

A noon-hour 'Rally in Ribbons and Robes' event will be staged in various courthouses across BC at 1pm on Wednesday, November 30, 2011.  According to the Trial Lawyers Association of BC website, the event will sound the warning of the duty counsel withdrawal in early 2012.
