About 

The purpose of the Federation of Asian Canadian Lawyers (British Columbia) Society (FACL BC) Journal, now renamed Silk Threads: The Journal of Asian-Canadian Legal Perspectives ("Silk Threads" or the "Journal") is to provide a space for contributors and readers to engage with and share content about the legal issues and topics relevant to the pan-Asian Canadian community in British Columbia. The new name was selected through a blind naming contest held during the Inaugural Edition Journal Launch Party in April 2025, and we're thrilled to share that the winning submission was created by Shermaine Chua, one of our dedicated volunteers on the Journal Marketing Team.

We are grateful for the generous support of the Law Foundation of British Columbia, which has made this publication possible.

Following the successful publication of our inaugural issue in April 2025 (here), the Journal continues to provide a space for contributors and readers to engage with and share content on legal issues and topics relevant to the pan-Asian Canadian community in British Columbia. The second edition of Silk Threads was published in April 2026 (here). The Journal aims to publish content that includes, but is not limited to:

• local news in British Columbia that aligns with FACL BC’s mandate to promote equity, justice, and opportunity for the pan-Asian Canadian legal community;
  
• case comments; 
  
• op-eds;
  
• legal updates; 
  
• interviews with legal professionals; 
  
• statements published by the FACL BC Advocacy Committee; and
  
• other FACL BC content at the discretion of the FACL BC Board.

Second Edition 2026

FACL BC is proud to announce the launch of the second issue of Silk Threads. Issue II brings together a collection of articles from a diverse group of community contributors and a number of articles written by FACL BC’s committees. At a time when representation, equity, and inclusion remain critical in the legal profession and beyond, we hope this Journal contributes meaningfully to the ongoing dialogue. We are deeply grateful for your continued support in championing diverse voices and helping us bring this vision to life.

We invite you to join us for our launch event held on May 5, 2026 at Please Beverage Co. You can find more details and the registration information here.
