The unique thing about my practice is that of course I run it out of their office, and work with them to deliver feedback as a co-working lawyer in residence, and also

My role as
liaison lawyer at the Courthouse Libraries BC is to run all of the CLE, CPD webinars and training that we deliver to lawyers.

Nate Russell is
a liaison lawyer with Courthouse Libraries BC, where he is a key point of contact for the legal profession, especially small firms and solo lawyers.
