Members of the class actions bench and bar are invited to join us for a collegial virtual networking reception. Interact with class action judges and lawyers and gain insight in an informal setting outside the courtroom.

The event will feature opening remarks from Chief Justice of British Columbia, Robert J. Bauman, and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of BC, Christopher E. Hinkson.

Following the remarks, attendees will breakout into small groups for discussion and networking with various judges and members of the class actions bar. Bring the beverage of your choice and enjoy the opportunity to meet a variety of people as groups are rotated throughout the event.

This event is offered jointly by The Advocates’ Society Class Actions Practice Group and the Canadian Bar Association—British Columbia Class Action Section, and will be hosted on Zoom.
