As 2022 draws to a close we are proud of the launch of the Transform the Family Justice System Collaborative Transform the Family Justice System Collaborative and would like to thank our partners Doctors of BC Law Society of BC and many others committed to making improvements to BC’s Family Justice system!

Among countless achievements, Chief Justice Bauman chaired Access to Justice BC since it’s inception in 2015 and led the way forward on many access to justice initiatives. He will be missed.

“We believe people are best served by legal professionals when they know upfront what help they’ll receive & how much it will cost them We believe that everyone should have access to high quality legal services, whether they're rich poor or in the middle.” everyonelegal.ca

Our condolences to the family and friends of @VickieCammack. Vickie was on A2JBC's Leadership Group & Steering Committee, where she offered priceless advice as a social innovator. She leaves behind a legacy incl. Planned Lifetime Advocacy Network (PLAN) & Tyze Networks. bit.ly/3J0i2zj

We would like to thank everyone who organized, spoke at and attended #A2JWeekBC last week! We had over 14 events, 50 speakers and 100s of attendees. Everyone has a role to play - so spread the word! #accesstojustice #whosejob #everyonematters #justiceforall

Chief Justice Bauman on the important work being done by ACCESS to JUSTICE BC and @AccessProBono: "...how do we change the system, the way the services are delivered, the way the problems are resolved. How do we change it so that it’s navigable by ordinary people?" vancouversun.com/news/local-new…

It was my pleasure to assist Amici Curiae Friendship Society in reviewing their Guide to Supreme Court Family Law for Self Represented Litigants. This guide will be invaluable in supporting the ever growing # of citizens in BC who have no other options other than representing themselves. #A2J

There’s work being done in BC to change our family justice system to reduce the adverse childhood experiences related to family separation. buff.ly/42uACa4

An exciting youth voices & family justice focused art installation will be coming to Vancouver this May. Make sure to check it out! #yvr #youthvoices #childrights #familyjustice #familylaw

Remember Chief Judge Gillespie's "10 things for a law student (or any student) to think about"? ... "6. Volunteer in the community & participate at (the law) school. The habits of volunteerism you make here will stay with you for a lifetime." #NVW2023 bit.ly/3P6JoEZ

This is significant …. ordinary citizens outside of family court struggling to afford legal services. Self representation is rarely a choice but rather reflects a need and a system that is failing.

An interactive mobile art installation to raise awareness of the importance of listening and acting on youth voices in the Justice system! May 25th 4-8pm in front of the Vancouver Art Gallery.

As part of the Seen and Heard project, we've launched a website where youth can share their story of #Divorce and #familycourt visit: seenandheard.ca #youthvoices #familylaw #familylawyer #childrights #parentalseparation #familycourt #bclegal #advocacy #seenandheard

Chief Justice Bauman took part in a fireside chat hosted by @LegalAidBC with Court of Appeal for Ontario Chief Justice Michael Tulloch on Tuesday. The Chief Justices, seen with Legal Aid CEO Michael Bryant, discussed a variety of topics including their paths to the bench & approaches to leadership.

One couple, one lawyer, and a flat fee .. A new way to navigate divorce? “The dominant thinking in the movies and TV is … you get that big shark and you go (to war), but ultimately family law is about families,” said Melissa Bourgeois with One Family Law apple.news/ASqXuvfV2QmSX_…

BC’s Chief Justice, Robert Bauman “It is truly a time for change, renewal, and hope for the justice system”

When it comes to parental separation it's important to remember that children and youth are more than collateral in their parents' situation - they are their own person. #bcpoli #FamilyLaw #youthvoices #childrights
