Clicklaw Wikibooks has teamed up with Vancouver lawyer John-Paul Boyd to turn his very popular family law website, www.bcfamilylawresource.com, into this new Clicklaw Wikibook title, JP Boyd on Family Law. The migration of JP Boyd's website into this new format preserves the accessibility and breadth of content of the original, which provided free family law information to more than 27,000 British Columbians a month and had been published for more than a decade.
As a Clicklaw Wikibook, JP Boyd on Family Law harnesses the strength of the open-source wiki platform, the same platform that powers Wikipedia, and a book creator option that allows readers and libraries to print as little or as much of this wiki as they want in a convenient, user-friendly book format that will expand the reach of this resource to benefit British Columbians online and off.
Collaborative resource
John-Paul remains involved in JP Boyd on Family Law, but he is no longer alone in his efforts. John-Paul is joined by a stellar roster of experienced senior family law lawyers and junior lawyers new to the practice who are committed to delivering in-depth, pragmatic family law information. Editors have been recruited by an advisory committee based on the need for complementing areas of interest and experience to tackle chapter topics. See the full list of editors on the JP Boyd on Family Law Contributors page.
Public benefit
There is immense public benefit in so many respected lawyers committing to ensure that John-Paul’s original resource continues strong under the changes to the Family Law Act. That it is in a format suitable for both digital consumption and print, is another gain. You might be reading this page on a laptop in a coffee shop, or you could be holding this book at a public library. Both digital and print formats are made possible by the technology that powers Clicklaw Wikibooks, and one of the main rationales for creating a wikibook, was the chance to put real books on public library shelves, since so many people rely on their library for information of all kinds.
