Legal Profession Survey

January 2003

This survey should take approximately 5 minutes to complete.

This is a survey of the entire Alberta legal profession. It is designed to measure the volunteer contributions of our profession to our communities. The results will be used by the CBA - Alberta Branch in its ongoing advocacy on behalf of our profession.

Volunteer activities are categorized. This ensures that the results measuring pro bono and volunteer work related to being a lawyer can be separated from other types of volunteer activities. A response to each category is required, even if the response is "0".

This information will be used solely for the purpose of compiling general data and statistics. None of the information disclosed on this survey which is identifiable to any particular individual or organization will be published without the consent of the individual and the organization.

If you have any questions about completing this survey, please call Sandra L. Schulz, Q.C. (780-437-9040), Michael W. McHugh (780-426-4660), Virginia Engel, Q.C. (403-296-2290) or Terry Evenson (403-218-4315)
