Using this site

This site is full of user-contributed information about BJC, currently over 300 pages. Anyone can edit anything, and all editors are potentially fallible. Things you read are not gospel, and they are not the statements of any authoritative "BJC organisation". They are opinions and people's (perhaps imperfect) memory of facts. Please don't use anything here as your only source of legal advice. If you see anything that's wrong, please fix it!
