LSLAP Manual
As part of LSLAP’s continuing community outreach project, we are pleases to offer the complete text of the 2012 Edition of the LSLAP Manual online. The Manual not only provides an outline of the procedures that participating law students are expected to follow, it also presents a considerable body of substantive law with appropriate precedents. Please note that the Manual deals primarily with the laws of the Government of Canada and the Government of British Columbia.
