Best Practices for Public Legal Information

by People’s Law School

Do you produce legal information for the public in British Columbia? In this free one-hour webinar, learn strategies to make your information even better. Several organizations in BC have teamed up to develop best practices for public legal information and other tools to help you produce information your audience trusts, understands and uses. Learn how, if you substantially follow the best practices, you can qualify to use a new Quality Mark™ on your information.

Join Drew Jackson, a lawyer and librarian who leads our efforts in developing information for the public on everyday legal problems, and moderator Paula Price, a lawyer who creates and delivers our digital public legal education.
