Three APB volunteer lawyers elected as new Benchers of the Law Society of BC


On November 15, 2013, Craig Ferris, Jamie Maclaren and Sharon Matthews QC-- three stalwart volunteer lawyers for Access Pro Bono (Jamie is also the Executive Director)-- were elected for two-year terms as new Benchers of the Law Society of BC.

Their election continues a recent but proud tradition of APB supporters being elected to the Bencher table. Benchers are volunteer directors tasked with ensuring that British Columbians are well-served by a competent, honourable and independent legal profession.
