Carman J. Overholt, Q.C., is a highly respected labour and employment lawyer who practises law in Vancouver. He is a Past President of the B.C. Branch of the Canadian Bar Association and has been involved in continuing legal education (including working with Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s Centre for Law in the Contemporary Workplace).
But it is his impressive work with the community 카지노 게임 컬렉션“ everything from founding Pro Bono Law of B.C. to introducing new Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s grads to the Vancouver legal community 카지노 게임 컬렉션“ that has made him the 2013 winner of the Kathleen Beaumont Hill Award.
It카지노 게임 컬렉션™s the highest honour given by the Vancouver Branch of the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s 카지노게임사이트 Alumni Association to a graduate for outstanding service, advocacy, dedicated support and contributions to the betterment of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s and our country.
He started working on the Pro Bono Initiative in the late 1990s and the process took more than three years. There were many young lawyers who wanted to give back and Carman realized there was a need to structure and formalize the delivery of pro bono legal services and to promote the importance of pro bono work to the legal profession. He never anticipated the range of issues that would need to be addressed. In the end, the B.C. legal community supported the Pro Bono Initiative to supplement government-funded legal aid but not to replace it.
Carman credits his Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s student days and his work with the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s Legal Aid Society with inspiring his drive to start Pro Bono Law of B.C.
