In 2010, Dom founded Amici Curiae Friendship Society (AC). AC, now a charity, provides legal assistance to individuals who require help drafting or filling out legal forms. AC’s services are provided on the principle of equal access to justice. This means going beyond the application of a simple financial eligibility test. Equal access to justice includes an assessment of an individual’s capacity to navigate what has become a complex and inaccessible legal system for many British Columbians, more relevant than ever throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
Dom is a 2020 recipient of BC Achievement Foundation Community Award and has also been selected to receive its Mitchell Award for demonstrating an exceptional commitment to elevating the community in which they live, and those who serve it.
Aside from designing AC’s virtual services and its Indian Day School service in summer 2020, he submitted a petition to the attorney general of BC to permanently waive the commission of affidavits; produced #DearBCians series where he interviewed heads of BC’s adjudicative bodies to see what they are doing to help the public during the pandemic; and submitted Guide to the Supreme Court of BC for SRLs to CanLII.
