  • Representation Agreements as a Legal Tool for Supported Decision-Making: Bruce’s Story (Videos) Part 1 and Part 2

  • How to get a final family order in Provincial Court if you agree
  • How to deal with a committal hearing (because you’ve fallen behind in your support payments)

The Vancouver International Film Festival started last week, and it reminds me that Clicklaw now has some great new resources from new contributor Artists’ Legal Outreach:

“Art can get messy. The Artists’ Legal Outreach can help. We are a group of volunteer lawyers and law students committed to working with artists and arts organizations. We offer resources, workshops and clinics where artists can meet confidentially with an experienced lawyer. Every artistic discipline is welcome, all for the price of a donation.”

In Solve Problems on Clicklaw, we now have links to the Artists’ Legal Outreach Resource Library, an online searchable database containing articles, legislation and sample legal documents related to arts, entertainment, business, and intellectual property law.

In addition to the Resource Library, we also have links to their resources on trademark & copyright, public art, and the Olympic and Paralymic Marks Act

And on the HelpMap under phone/web services, we have a link to information about their Artists’ Legal Outreach Legal Clinic.
