APB has partnered with the kind folk at the Continuing Legal Education Society of British Columbia to develop and present several CLE-TV episodes on "Pro Bono Practice in BC".  The first episode provides an introduction to APB and how the organization engages lawyers and other legal service providers in serving BC's people and non-profit organizations of limited means.  Subsequent episodes will focus on substantive legal matters relating to the most common areas of pro bono practice.

The first noon-hour CLE-TV episode on Tuesday, May 8 is complimentary to all members of the Law Society of BC.  It qualifies as one hour toward the Law Society's Compulsory Professional Development requirement, and has the following description:

"Have you always wanted to do pro bono work but worried that would not be a good fit with your skills?  Then this is the course for you.  Everything you always wanted to know about pro bono but did know who to ask.  This program will introduce you to APB, what it does, how lawyers are connected to pro bono clients, and the myriad of programs and resources that are there to support pro bono counsel.  Doing pro bono work on terms that are a good fit for you as counsel has never been easier."
