Protecting the Olympic Marks
by Mark Fancourt-Smith


This September, the Honourable Chief Justice Donald Brenner departed the Bench and in this issue he offers his reflections on nine years leading the Supreme Court of British Columbia. His example, as a lawyer who has reached one of the pinnacles of the profession, should serve as great inspiration to new students just weeks into their first term of law school. Law students and seasoned practitioners alike will benefit from reading the articles in the issue that touch upon the always-pertinent theme of Legal Research. In these pages you will learn important practice tips, from how to harness the resources of the public library system to developing solutions for conducting legal research in the hinterlands, along with a number of other strategies for building time saving efficiencies into your work.
