Testers Needed! Consumer Law and Credit/Debt Law Manual

Are you an advocate, paralegal or lawyer who uses the Consumer Law and Credit/Debt Law Manual? Are you interested in volunteering an hour of your time to help make sure this resource meets the needs of its intended audience (that’s you!)?

The Legal Services Society (LSS) is looking for volunteers to do “usability testing” on this important resource. Usability testing is a way to make sure that a product, in this case the manual, is working well and meets the needs of its audience. You’re not being tested – you’re helping to test the resource. (Makes sense?)

If you’re interested or would like more information, please contact LSS by emailing publications@lss.bc.ca.
