[[File:CBA_dial_thumb.PNG|160px|left|alt=Canadian Bar Association BC Branch Logo|link=Canadian Bar Association BC Branch]]In April 2015 [[Canadian Bar Association BC Branch]] joined Clicklaw Wikibooks and added [[Dial-A-Law]] to the collection. A formal [http://cbabc.org/News-Media/Media-Releases/2015/Dial-A-Law-Joins-Clicklaw-Wikibooks press release] was issued in time for [http://cbabc.org/LawWeek/Home Law Week 2015]. <br/>[[Dial-A-Law]] covers over 130 legal topics. It is available in a variety of e-reader, mobile and tablet-friendly formats (PDF and EPUB) or can be read online. You can also order the [[Dial-A-Law]] collection as a print-on-demand book, or call to listen to audio scripts. The entire [[Dial-A-Law]] collection will be printed as a 500+ page book and offered for free to over 240 BC public libraries later this year. For a full list of all Clicklaw Wikibooks title, see "[[Clicklaw Wikibooks|More Wikibooks...]]" link.
A special 40th edition of the ''[[LSLAP Manual|Law Students' Legal Advice Manual]]'' was printed and shipped to public libraries this summer with the aid of Courthouse Libraries BC's [http://www.bclawmatters.ca LawMatters program]. The ''[[LSLAP Manual]]'' features detailed information direct from the internal manual that UBC law students consult when helping people through their [http://www.clicklaw.bc.ca/organization/helpmap/1010 legal clinics]. Students and supervising lawyers review the ''[[LSLAP Manual]]'' annually. At nearly 1,000 printed pages, the ''[[LSLAP Manual]]'' is the largest Clicklaw Wikibook yet!</div>
