Calling all Asian-Canadian law students! FACL BC is pleased to bring back mock interviews for its student members. This online mock interview event will provide student members the opportunity to further prepare for OCIs and receive interview feedback in a friendly setting.

The event will begin with a panel discussion where panelists will discuss their personal experiences going through the structured recruit. Students will then have the opportunity to experience it themselves and go through a mock interview with legal practitioners from diverse fields of the law.

This event will be held over two days. The schedule for the event is:

September 8

• Panel: 5:00 - 5:40 PM
• Interview Slot 1: 5:45 - 6:15 PM
• Interview Slot 2: 6:25 - 6:55 PM

September 9

• Interview Slot 3: 5:30 - 6:00 PM
• Interview Slot 4: 6:10 - 6:40 PM

Students may choose to participate in just the panel or in both the panel and the mock interviews. Students who register for the mock interviews will be scheduled into one of the 4 interview slots. We ask that you keep your schedule open for all 4 possible interview slots. You will be notified of the slot you are registered to, 2 days prior to the event, with a zoom link.

Each interview will last for approximately 20 minutes with 10 minutes for feedback, and there will be one interview per student.

Students have until August 28 at 5:00 pm to register.

This event is only available for FACL BC members. Membership is free for students. You can sign up for a free student membership here.

Want to learn and practice your networking skills with legal professionals?

This year, FACL BC and the Asia Pacific Law Club (APLC) at UBC are partnering once again to host an exciting event designed to help students learn the art of networking. The event will start off with a presentation by Steven Ngo (past president of FACL BC) and Baron Hsueh (past co-president of APLC), who will share strategies for building meaningful connections and approaching networking in an authentic and effective way.

Join us for an evening of connection, networking, and getting involved as we kick off a new year at FACL BC!

Come meet FACL BC’s new Board of Directors and connect with the leaders and volunteers who will be driving our work forward this year. Hear what’s coming, meet the people behind the work, and find your place in FACL BC’s next chapter.

Whether you are a longtime volunteer, a new member looking to get involved, or simply interested in learning more about what FACL BC has planned for the year ahead, we hope you’ll join us. This is also a chance to connect and network with fellow FACL BC members.

At FACL BC, our greatest strength is our people. We are incredibly fortunate to have a membership filled with thoughtful, talented, and committed individuals who generously give their time, ideas, and energy to support our community. FACL BC is a volunteer-driven organization, and everything we accomplish is made possible by members who step forward to contribute. We hope this event will be an opportunity not only to learn about what we have planned for the year ahead, but also to find ways for you to be part of it.

Board members and committee chairs will be available to share more about their committees, upcoming initiatives, and the many ways you can get involved this year. Whether you have a specific area of interest or simply want to learn more, there is a place for you at FACL BC.
