CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS!

The Section will once again partner with the Laskin Moot Competition (February 23-25, 2023), with Section members from local CBA branches offering to judge practice rounds for law students across the country in preparation for the competition.

If you are interested in coaching a team, please contact the Section’s Communications Officer Patricia Harper, and indicate whether you have a preference for working with a team from a specific university, or whether you are willing to work with students from any university. Coaching sessions may take place virtually or in person. This year the Competition will be held in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
