Retirement on Trial Documentary Screenings
The legal profession is facing a growing challenge as the baby boomers reach retirement age globally. In the US, 1 in 8 lawyers, or 182,000 are over the age of 65. In British Columbia, Canada, 14% of all lawyers practicing are over 65.
Retirement on Trial is a unique documentary film on what retirement means for lawyers and judges. The film offers a platform to address pertinent issues and gain insights and advice from prominent judges, prosecutors, and lawyers, drawing from their personal and professional experiences.
