At CBA Alberta, we are passionate about supporting early-career lawyers as they make their mark on the legal profession. With a CBA membership, you will have exclusive access to programming and benefits that will keep you on top of the latest developments in the legal profession, help you build community, and allow you to make an impact and shape the justice system.
Why Early Career Lawyers Love the CBA
Affordable membership fees
Your CBA membership shouldn't break the bank. Articling students and lawyers in their first three years of call are eligible for discounted membership fees.
Articling Students and Young Lawyers Sections
Starting August 2025, on-demand enrollment in our Articling Students and Young Lawyers Sections is free! When you enroll, you will have access to a community of early-career lawyers to help support you as you launch your career, as well access to on-demand PD programs from the Sections at no charge to you.
Young Lawyer Explore Program
Take some time to discover different areas of practice with the YL Explore Program. CBA Alberta members who enroll as full subscribers in the Young Lawyers or Articling Students Sections receive passes to attend two webcast or in-person events for Sections in which you are not enrolled.
Complimentary professional development
As a CBA Alberta member, you will receive complimentary access to live and on-demand events in our popular Modern Lawyer and Alberta Lawyer Insight webinar series, with regular speakers including the Chief Justices of Alberta’s Courts, legal tech experts, and other leaders in the profession.
Volunteer opportunities
Make connections with CBA members around Alberta, share your knowledge and skills in areas that matter to you, and build your profile in the legal community by volunteering for a Section or Committee! Our volunteers contribute by planning CPD events, advancing our advocacy priorities, supporting access to justice and EDI initiatives and more.
