The Law Society of Alberta’s Learning Centre is an interactive and informative resource for Alberta lawyers. While the Learning Centre is publicly available, it is not intended to teach a non-lawyer how to practice law or to assist self-represented people. The Learning Centre focuses on the business of operating a law practice in compliance with Law Society Rules, among other things, and does not constitute legal advice.
