The Law Society of Alberta will be hosting an in-person Table Talk group mentoring session in Edmonton on Wednesday, April 9 from 12:15 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. The topic of this Table Talk is Internationally Trained Lawyers (ITL’s).

Attendees will be divided into small groups where discussions will be led by mentors who are ITL’s, and will provide valuable advice for personal and professional career growth. The discussions will focus on the experience of being an ITL and the unique challenges that come along with practising law in Alberta. You will also have the opportunity to ask questions throughout the session.

The purpose of these events is to bring together mentors and mentees from our Mentor Connect and Mentor Express programs to network and discuss important topics that affect lawyers. Each event features a specific discussion theme with mentors leading informal conversations among small groups of mentees. Mentees are encouraged to raise questions and actively participate in the discussion.

There will be an opportunity for attendees to network from 2 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. for those who are able to stay afterwards. Lunch will be provided and the event is free of charge.

Attendance is limited and spaces will be filled on a first come, first served basis.
