Today, the wiki became a
wikibook when the first copies of the first print edition of the 670-page volume
JP Boyd on Family Law were delivered to the library at the Vancouver Law Courts. The print run demonstrates the incredible potential behind the
wikibook platform for the cost-effective delivery of public legal education. It is, I expect, the first of many editions to be released in the future as the
wikibook is updated, by an editorial team of senior and junior family law lawyers, to keep pace with the continuing evolution of the law.

Copies of
JP Boyd on Family Law will be distributed by
Courthouse Libraries BC to every public library in the province as part of their
LawMatters community outreach program.
I am tremendously grateful to everyone at Courthouse Libraries, in particular
Johanne Blenkin, executive director,
Drew Jackson, director of client services, and
Nate Russell, legal community liaison, for their conception of and continuing enthusiastic support for this project. Thank you all very, very much.
