We’ve never done anything like this before – and we’re excited to bring young lawyers together for an in-person afternoon of professional development, connection, and fun on Friday, July 25!

We’re going straight to the source on the do’s and don’ts of the provincial courtroom. Chief Judge Robin Fowler will lead a session on courtroom etiquette, offering practical insights from the bench. Whether you’re preparing for your first appearance or looking for a timely refresher, this is your chance to learn what to expect and ask the Chief Judge your questions directly.

We’ll kick off the afternoon with lunch and a presentation from Lawyers Financial, covering how to set yourself up for financial success as you transition from law school into practice- navigating things like loans, unexpected time off, parental leave, and more.

And to wrap things up (arguably the best part), we’re ending the day with a young lawyer meet and mingle, a great opportunity to expand your network and enjoy a beverage on us.

Here’s what’s on the agenda:

12:30 PM – Check-in

12:45 PM – Lunch & Financial literacy presentation by Lawyers Financial

⚖️ Courtroom Etiquette with Chief Judge Fowler – an invaluable opportunity for facetime and practical insight
