New Lawyer Welcome

Dates: May 13, 2025 - May 21, 2025

Location: Calgary/Edmonton/Webinar

New Lawyer Welcome Poster

Please join representatives from partner organizations in Alberta’s legal community as we roll out the welcome mat for new and upcoming lawyers. The Law Society of Alberta, the Alberta Lawyers’ Assistance Society, the Alberta Lawyers Indemnity Association, the Canadian Bar Association – Alberta Branch and the Legal Education Society of Alberta are collaborating to present some helpful information and answer your questions.

These lunchtime events are free of charge and will feature presentations to help you get a better understanding of what our organizations offer and how to access the different supports available. Let us take some of the guesswork away from your early days of practice and introduce you to a wide variety of resources.

Who is invited?

You are encouraged to attend if you are a new Alberta lawyer or if you are an articling student who will be called to the bar in the next six months. Spots are limited and registration is required.

Agenda

Lunch/presentations will take place from noon – 1 p.m. Representatives from the different organizations will be available for an additional half an hour following the presentations for any questions and networking.

Please indicate any dietary restrictions you may have upon registration. We will do our best to accommodate dietary requests but since this is a pizza buffet lunch, options may be limited. Food items will be marked with their dietary allergens.
