Student and Young Lawyers Committee
The Student and Young Lawyers Committee facilitates networking and mentorship opportunities to newly called lawyers and students and acts as a resource for students seeking to connect with SABABC. Working with the students and our student membership to increase SABABC’s profile, the Committee is informed of resources for law students in securing articles and organizes annual social events geared toward SABABC’s student and young lawyer membership.
Advocacy Committee
The Advocacy Committee provides advice to the Board and serves as a forum for SABABC members interested in public interest related issues that affect the South Asian community and considers how SABABC may take a public position on such issues. The Committee advances SABABC’s mandate with respect to social responsibility and additionally operates as a point of contact for public inquiries.
Fall Conference Committee
The Fall Conference Committee organizes the annual Fall Conference, SABABC’s day-long conference for South Asian legal professionals. The Committee works with our membership and sponsors to organize and hold the Fall Conference, which provides a large portion of our membership with their annual Law Society of BC CPD credits.
Gala Committee
The Gala Committee organizes galas put on by SABABC from time to time, including the SABABC Legacy Gala, for the purpose of bringing the South Asian and broader legal community together in celebration of the progress of the mission of SABABC and the successes within the South Asian community.
