Every Tuesday in October is #CBAfuturesChat, hosted by Law is Cool alumni Omar Ha-Redeye of Fleet Street Law.
The CBA Futures Initative is a project that is reaching out to lawyers across Canada to talk about the future of the legal industry. Â The twitter chat is one of the ways they are reaching out to engage with students to get input on topics that are relevent to their lives like:
- the primary objective(s) of legal education
- the advantages and limitations of the articling system in providing an appropriate level of professional training to prospective lawyers? Are there other options?
- the necessary changes with respect to legal education in Canada
- how legal services can be changed to improve access to justice
- how to achieve more equitable representation of historically under-represented groups
We’re super excited that the CBA is reaching out and trying to engage with students, and we encourage everyone to chime in on Tuesdays at 7pm.
