Continuing Legal Education

Last updated on January 7, 2019

Recognizing that articled students and summer students are at the outset of their careers, the Articled Student Committee develops and implements a continuing legal education (CLE) program designed specifically for students and lawyers at the beginning of their careers. The dual purposes of this program are to familiarize students with concepts and area of law that they will encounter during their practice and to introduce them to subject-matter experts that are available to discuss legal problems when students encounter them in practice.

Some of the previous continuing legal education sessions included:

Crown Liability in Practice
Principles of Statutory Interpretation
How to Survive and Thrive in Your Year of Articles
Administrative Law: A Barrister’s and Solicitor’s Primer
Ethical Practice
Current Trends in Indigenous Law
How to Work Effectively with Your Staff
FOIPPA, and What it Means for Lawyers
Privilege Primer
Frequently Used Statues
