INFORMATION IS POWER
We know what it takes to build a successful career in law. Let us connect you with savvy professionals, the latest legal developments and much more. We’re happy to invest in YOU.
Law school students can enjoy everything we have to offer, including legal updates, networking and a wide range of other services – both at the national and provincial/territorial levels.
Law students pay the incredible rate of just $20 per year for membership in the CBA – an average savings of more than $600 per year. And for students attending law schools in Ontario, Nova Scotia or New Brunswick … your annual membership in the CBA is FREE!
