Alberta Access to Justice (A2J) Week takes place from Feb. 3 to 7 this year. Over the course of the week, justice sector organizations will be offering a variety of events and activities across the country highlighting the importance of justice, the barriers to accessing it and the ways we can work together to break down those barriers. View the A2J Week website for a full listing of available events. 

The 2025 theme for Access to Justice Week is Lifting Communities Through the Power of Pro Bono. Alberta's pro bono clinics and organizations are on the front lines of improving access to justice in our province and they fill an important gap in the legal profession. Pro bono clinics and organizations are always looking for new volunteers so that they can continue to provide their vital services to the public. Consider volunteering with an Approved Legal Service Provider to help the cause. 

Are you thinking about winding up and retiring in the next five years? The Law Society is hosting three in-person Retirement Information Sessions to help you plan for this next chapter with confidence. 

The goal for retiring is to have you reach a position where your clients have been attended to and files have been closed or transferred, any trust monies have been managed and disbursed, and your status with the Law Society has been updated. These sessions will provide guidance on how to accomplish all of this and more, as well as how to set a realistic timeline to get you there. 

• Calgary | Wednesday, March 5, 2025 at 1:30 p.m.
• Edmonton | Wednesday, March 12, 2025 at 1:30 p.m.
• Lethbridge | Wednesday, March 19, 2025 at 1 p.m.

Law Society staff will be on-hand to present information about the steps needed for a successful transition to retirement, as well as answer any questions you may have. Light snacks and refreshments will be provided.
