Options For Lawyers: What Can You Do With Your Law Degree?

The CBABC and the Lawyers Assistance Program of B.C. present “What Can You Do With Your Law Degree?” on Friday, November 7, 2003 at the Plaza 500 Hotel, 500 West 12th Avenue Vancouver, B.C.

All of us need to know that we have options –that we don’t have to feel trapped in an unsatisfactory career or in a stale mode of practising law. If you want to learn more about your own options, about what your law degree really makes possible, book Friday, November 7th on your calendar. From 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. you’ll engage in a practical exploration of where you want to be, and what steps you can take to get there. You’ll also talk to others who have already made changes. Past participants of the program have commented on the “excellent value” of the day, and reported high satisfaction with the content. “I feel re-invigorated to look at things in a different way,” said one lawyer.

Registration is $90.95 ($85.00 plus GST) per person. The deadline for registration is October 17th – book now!
