**TREDI STATEMENT**:
Our commitment to Truth and Reconciliation, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion is ambitious and foundational. It informs everything we do, as we dismantle colonization, racism, sexism, transphobia and homophobia, and all discrimination. These are our values, and they inform our hiring practices too. Our business is aiding people in severe legal distress, and necessitates internal and external alignment of practicing these values. Integrating Truth and Reconciliation and Equity, Diversity and Inclusion throughout every aspect of Legal Aid BC is critical to building that culture, and we prioritize ongoing resources to achieve that goal.
**The Opportunity**
The Parents Legal Centre (PLC) takes a holistic approach to family and child protection law. As the Staff Lawyer at the Parents Legal Centre (PLC), you will be part of a team consisting of a managing lawyer, staff lawyer(s), paralegal/advocate(s) and administrative legal assistant(s). Together, you will work to provide advice and representation to PLC clients on family and child protection matters and strive to reach early collaborative resolutions when appropriate. We believe that better outcomes can be achieved when parents receive legal advice and support during the early stages of their family and child protection matters.
Reporting to the Managing Lawyer or Excluded Manager, this position works within the context of Legal Aid BC policies and is responsible for providing legal counsel and representation, including duty counsel, in the full range of family law practice including separation, divorce, custody/access, property division and child protection matters. This position works collaboratively with community advocates in developing legal services, programs and law reform.
The paralegal/advocate helps resolve a parent’s underlying non-legal issues, and the administrative assistant oversees client intake and office administration.
**Key accountabilities include, but aren't limited to**:
- Provides family/child protection law services including, summary legal advice and information to clients and individual case representation and provides duty counsel services in courts as assigned.
- Conducts legal research and prepares required documents.
- Develops solutions to family problems and acts for clients in all family matters at hearings, trials and appeals in all levels of BC Courts.
- Discusses, negotiates, and resolves case matters by working with opposing lawyers, judges, witnesses, and police as appropriate.
- Provides day to day supervision and work direction including performance planning, coaching and feedback sessions to support staff.
- Develops and delivers public legal education in family/child protection law as required and time permits.
- Collaborates with community advocates through the exchange of information and assistance with Legal Aid BC work and law reform work.
**Who We Are**
Legal Aid BC (LABC) is a non-profit organization established by the Legal Services Society Act in 1979. Our mission is to provide legal information, advice, and representation services to BC's most vulnerable and marginalized citizens who lack the necessary resources to effectively access the justice system when their families, freedom, or safety are at risk. Our vision is to see BC’s legal system transformed, by the way LABC represents our clients, into one more equitable and inclusive with a mission to strengthen client-centred legal help for British Columbians experiencing barriers accessing the legal system.
At LABC, we know that our continued ability to help the people who need us is due to the hardworking individuals who make up our team, dedicated to making a difference in the lives of people in need. We foster a positive culture of open communication for our team to thrive within, underpinned by our values of client focus, advancing Truth & Reconciliation, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, and change through leadership.
