The British Columbia Law Institute is a not-for-profit legal research and law reform organization affiliated with the University of British Columbia. The private company is based in British Columbia, Canada. It conducts scholarly research, analysis, and public consultations to identify and recommend improvements to laws, focusing on modernizing and simplifying laws, increasing access to justice, and developing innovative, inclusive legal solutions through collaboration with legal experts, academics, indigenous communities, government, and the public. The institute works in diverse legal areas including indigenous governance, environmental law, family law, administrative law, securities regulation, elder law, consumer protection, corporate and commercial law, property law, technology law, tort law, wills and trusts, and workplace law. Its projects address issues such as pension division on relationship breakdowns, access to neighboring land and airspace for construction, indigenous-led conflict resolution, modernization of the Escheat Act, litigation abuse in family law, leasehold housing reform, indigenous data sovereignty, and reconciling crown legal frameworks with indigenous laws. The organization produces research reports, study papers, and practical resources for legal professionals and the public, and is governed by a board of directors appointed by legal and academic institutions.
