On September 10, 2015, the Alberta Civil Trial Lawyers Association (ACTLA) and the Women’s Legal Forum once again celebrates Alberta women in the legal profession. This year marks the 100th anniversary of Lillian Ruby Clements’ admission to the Alberta bar. She was the first woman to have that honour.
