The Law Society of Alberta is committed to responding to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Calls to Action. We are providing free education opportunities for lawyers on Indigenous issues. The next seminar is:
Guide for Working with Indigenous Peoples
Thursday, November 22, 2018
Noon - 1:30 p.m.
Danish Canadian Club (727 11 Ave SW, Calgary, AB T2R 0E3)
We are pleased to welcome speakers:
“The Advocates' Society, in partnership with the Indigenous Bar Association and the Law Society of Ontario, has developed the
Guide for Lawyers Working with Indigenous Peoples. The guide is intended to serve as a helpful resource for lawyers to learn about important historical and cultural elements that provide context for the professional relationships among Indigenous persons, their lawyers and other participants in the justice system. The guide also provides practical tools to help lawyers represent Indigenous clients as effectively as possible. In some small way, we hope this guide will contribute to the national conversation on reconciliation and access to justice.”
