The Law Foundation of British Columbia has a mission to advance and promote a just society governed by the rule of law, through leadership, innovation and collaboration. It has been doing this since 1969, using funds arising from interest paid on lawyers’ pooled trust accounts and other sources to make the law and justice system accessible, particularly to those segments of the public who face the greatest barriers to access. Through its funding, the Foundation supports: --a network of 50 poverty law advocacy programs assisting people with their poverty law problems in communities around the province; – a network of 25 family law advocacy programs; – clinical legal education programs at all three law schools in BC; – a variety of public interest law programs; – public legal education programs; – support for the provision of legal aid and public law libraries; – important work in law reform; and – a number of other programs and projects that contribute to enhancing the rule of law and access to justice in British Columbia.
