Student Resources – Law Society of Alberta

We offer a variety of resources for you as a Student-at-Law in your journey to the Bar.

A Glimpse Into the New Education Plan	The focus of the education plan has shifted away from a substantive law based approach toward entry level competencies. The new education plan aligns articling students in Alberta with nationwide standards for entry into the profession.
Beginning Again: Internationally Trained Lawyers Christine’s Story Christiana’s Story Nick’s Story	First and foremost, ITLs and ITLGs without a Canadian common law degree must have their education and experience evaluated by the National Committee on Accreditation (NCA).
Rising to the Challenge	The elation of finishing law school can be quickly overshadowed by the seemingly disproportionate law student to articling position ratio. As a result, students are finding creative ways to meet the articling requirement.
What can a Student-at-law do?	You will see that the right to give legal advice and appear before courts turns upon being a lawyer, barrister, solicitor, member of the bar, advocate, avocat, attorney, agent, counsel or officer of the court.
