JusticeBC

New on Clicklaw

Earlier this year, the BC government launched a new website, JusticeBC. JusticeBC is a gateway website, providing information about the criminal justice system, as well as links to other resources and services in BC. It’s aimed at court users, victims of crime, witnesses, offenders and anyone interested in knowing more about the criminal justice system. It also provides information in French, Punjabi, Spanish, and simplified Chinese.

Feedback on the new website is welcome – check out the online feedback form available on the JusticeBC website.

Just a Click Away Conference, Feb. 23 & 24, 2011

The broader context

The Just a Click Away Conference is taking place this Wednesday and Thursday, February 23 and 24, 2011. Funded by the Law Foundation of Ontario’s Access to Justice Fund, Just a Click Away is an initiative to enhance how technology can be used to deliver legal education and information to the public in Canada.

Clicklaw is part of a breakout session at the conference, “Portals and Other Models for Online Public Legal Education: What Are the Next Steps?”. The session builds off of a series of preconference webinars exploring models used to provide access online to public legal education and information. This video recap of the webinars features five portal websites, including Clicklaw, as well as one content-rich site in different jurisdictions across Canada and the US.
