Dear CLEBC Contributors,

As we look forward to the year ahead, everyone here at CLEBC would like to thank all the contributors who made our 2022 such a successful and rewarding year.

Once again, you’ve stood by us, dedicating not only your legal knowledge and expertise but also your hard work, time, and enthusiasm. We’ve come through a year that was filled with both challenges and — thanks to you — victories.

After more than two and a half years of running courses virtually, we were thrilled to bring back in-person learning at CLEBC this fall — all the while continuing to offer our programs online. Accomplishing this fully hybrid approach was no easy feat, but the chance to see you face-to-face again was truly the highlight of our year. To all the course chairs, speakers, and attendees who met this challenge with us, we wish to extend our deepest appreciation to each of you for your valuable contributions.

We also wish to thank all the authors and editorial boards who worked tirelessly to keep our publications updated and relevant with the latest changes. Both online and in print, our publications continue to be better than ever thanks to your dedication and support.

Working with you this past year has been a pleasure. The success of CLEBC is based on the relationships we have built over the years and the amazing support from each of you.

Whether it is online or in person, we look forward to seeing you all again in the new year as we work together to strengthen this great place we call home — the BC legal community.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Linda W. Russell and the CLEBC team
