The Canadian Bar Association offers a full range of Sections as the entry point for members to become active. They provide a valuable skills-improvement forum and an opportunity to exchange ideas with colleagues and Bar leaders from across Canada and around the world. Members may join the Branch Sections relevant to their practice areas, and are then automatically enrolled in the corresponding National Sections.
With your Section membership, you'll enjoy many advantages:
- Improve your skills. Participating in Section activities brings valuable opportunities for networking and mentoring relations.
- Meet colleagues. Share concerns and hear from experts on current issues at the Branch and National levels.
- Substantive Learning. Learn about the law in your own area and continue to build your knowledge base with continued professional development.
- Participate in CBA Governance. Membership provides you the opportunity to contribute to the governance of CBA Alberta by joining our Council or Executive.
- Receive regular communication. Members are kept current through notices of meetings, summaries of law reform developments and newsletters containing the latest professional information.
