In this season of celebration and reflection, we want to take a moment to say thank you to those who have enabled us to serve the educational and professional development needs of Alberta’s legal community.
With the hundreds of volunteers who worked with LESA this year, we have a lot to be thankful for, and we genuinely appreciate the expertise and time our volunteers share with us. We know many of you feel the same way about your colleagues who give back to the profession. Here’s what one volunteer had to say in a recent interview:
I always learn from volunteering with LESA; I always love connecting with the other lawyers who volunteer – and I’m always impressed by how much they do and the energy they have.” – Helen R. Ward, Duncan Craig LLP.
Thanks to the commitment of all our volunteers, 2015 has proved to be an eventful year.
- We launched the LESA Library – a comprehensive online resource offering you access to Alberta-specific legal content, anytime, anywhere.
- We held 4 online modules and 3 face-to-face sessions in the CPLED Program, with over 400 students registered in the program.
- We offered 38 professional development seminars in the past 4 months, including programs for legal support staff, general skills and knowledge programs for all practitioners, and seminars in the areas of business law, family law, litigation, and real estate.
We hope that you’ve enjoyed 2015 as much as we have!
From all of us at the LESA, thank you for your support in 2015! We wish you a happy holiday season and a prosperous new year!
The LESA office closes beginning on December 24, 2015. We return on Monday, January 4, 2016.
We look forward to welcoming you back at LESA in January!
