Under Alberta's Legal Profession Act, you must be registered member of the Law Society of Alberta (LSA) to practice law in Alberta or call yourself a Lawyer.
Registration requires: (1) a Canadian common law degree, (2) one year of articling as a student-at-law, and (3) successful completion of the Law Society of Alberta Bar Admission Course (CPLED). For official, detailed information about registration requirements, visit the LSA website or contact the Law Society of Alberta.
Lawyers who are registered by and in good standing with a regulatory organization elsewhere in Canada may be eligible for registration in Alberta if registered lawyers in the two jurisdictions have similar responsibilities and competencies. For more information, see What if I am already certified in another province or territory? and the Alberta regulatory authority (below).
To learn about certification for internationally educated lawyers, see Lawyer Enrolment Process.
