SYNOPSIS

An effective justice system requires judges who reflect the diversity of our province.  Are you thinking of applying now or in the future?  Learn about the day-to-day activities of a judge in Provincial and Supreme Courts, the skills and knowledge required, what to consider when applying to the Bench, and how applications are evaluated. Our panel of judges share their experiences to help you take your next steps.

ACKNOWLEDGING FIRST NATIONS TERRITORIES

This webinar is hosted by CBABC, which is located on the traditional and unceded territory of the Coast Salish peoples, including the Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh and Musqueam First Nations. We encourage our members to explore the rich history and knowledge of Indigenous people, and to continue learning about their experience in Canada, past and present.
