Advice Decision-Making Assistant (ADMA)


Welcome to ADMA

Thank you for using the Law Society's Advice Decision-Making Assistant.
ADMA and the Practice Advisors can help you navigate questions about ethics and practice management, including:

  • the Law Society Rules and the BC Code;
  • ethics advice (e.g. confidentiality, conflicts, undertakings and withdrawing from a file);
  • practice advice (e.g. billing, client files and law-office management);
  • managing client relationships and relationships with other lawyers;
  • client identification and verification;
  • frauds, scams, and anti-money laundering; and
  • personal coping and stress management.

The practice advisors do not provide formal oral or written opinions, provide substantive legal advice, review large volumes of documents, mediate, assist with complaints that have been made to the Law Society, or provide advice on technology or tax issues.

The Law Society reserves the right to decline to give advice on any matter. Advice from a practice advisor is not a ruling or formal legal opinion, and it is not binding on the Law Society or the courts.
