Courthouse Libraries BC - Vancouver

Ok

It's a quiet library inside the Supreme Court. The staff is nice.

The Kelowna Librarian Evelyn is extremely resourceful and helpful.

Great books on court protocol churches that are things of that nature

Visited the pro bono lawyer office here. Unlike everyone else at the courthouse the lady working within the pro bono office was extremely rude and utilized any lie to avoid providing the service she was hired for. Not to mention she had barred up her doors completing, which made the whole office unapproachable. Even though she was aware I was waiting outside for an inconsiderate amount of time, she never made an effort to introduce herself or the office she represented including the service they offered. Once I had knocked on her door she tried to ignore me and made me feel like I was intruding on the pro bono law office. After explaining my case to her, she offered literally no advice and continued to make up a multitude of lies to avoid providing the service she is hired for. I thought this behaviour exhibited by her was an absolute embarrassment to the supreme court of BC. All in all, I believe the office who had hired the lady to represent them inside the supreme court should deeply reconsider whether this sort of behaviour is what they want representing their office, to which I believe the obvious answer is “no, let’s find someone else who really embodies the job description.” I’ve met many good pro bono lawyers over time and this lady was truly a disgrace to the standard of what we expect in a great Canadian city and in developed nations around the world. I would not write so extensively about my experience if I didn’t believe the supreme court could do a great magnitude better with who they put in their offices. If those employers do see this writing please make changes, a certain amount of professionalism is required when you find yourself within this building of which this was a sad display far below what’s acceptable.

Great library!! Alot of very important information that you cannot find elswhere. I had a really nice younger girl try and help me find stuff but dint have much direction for me being novice at trying to find out how to approach civil suits on your own.. sometime after they refused me entrance as well... :-( kinda sucked

Great resource for self represented litigants. Extremely helpful and patient staff.
