INNS OF COURT
I N V I T A T I O N
(Limited to 20 participants)
  

The Inns of Court is a Program of informal discussion and of "dining out" on topics of great interest to junior barristers.  The Alberta version of the Inns of Court follows a program based on the English tradition of dining with senior practitioners and Judges. The Canadian Bar Association Alberta, the Junior Lawyers North Section of Canadian Bar Association Alberta and The Edmonton Bar Association are sponsors of this Program.

We have had twenty-three very successful Programs to date, each held with a group of 20 junior barristers.  A discussion on a particular topic is led by four distinguished members of the Bench and Bar. There is a formal presentation of approximately one hour, following which the participants dine informally (with one presenter at each table of five attendees).

The thrust of the sessions is one of discussion, not lectures.  The opportunity for learning from the experience of guest presenters will be practical, timely and unique.

We are pleased to announce the 2012 Spring Program is now scheduled for Tuesday, May 29, 2012.  Please reply promptly since space is at a premium and participation will be on a first-come first-serve basis with preference to junior lawyers at the bar five years or less. Participants should have been admitted to the Bar and should be pursuing a litigation practice.

The topic for the May 29, 2012, dinner will be "Civil Chambers Practice".   Bench and Bar participants will be The Honourable Mr. Justice E.A. Marshall, The Honourable Madam Justice J.B. Veit, Raymond (Bud) Steen and Kate L. Hurlburt.  The dinner will be held in the Rutherford Suite (lower level) of The Sutton Place Hotel, 10235 - 101 Street.  There will be a reception (cash bar) from 5:30 - 6:00 PM, Presentation at 6:00 PM sharp with Discussion and Dinner to follow (approximately 7:30 - 9:00 PM). The cost to attend this event is $50.00 per person.
