New and upcoming Alberta lawyers are invited to join representatives from partner organizations in Alberta’s legal community as we roll out the welcome mat. 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 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.

You are encouraged to attend if you are a new Alberta lawyer or if you have completed law school but not yet been called to the bar. This includes articling students, PREP students who have not started articling, internationally trained lawyers or lawyers transferring from outside of Alberta. Spots are limited and registration is required.
