Court of King's Bench of Alberta
The Court of King's Bench is the Superior Trial Court for the Province, hearing trials in civil and criminal matters and appeals from decisions of the Court of Justice. The Chief Justice and other Justices of the Court are also judges of Surrogate Matters, which has jurisdiction over probate and administration of estate matters.
The Court of Queen’s Bench is organizing a group bar call in each of Edmonton and Calgary. We are interested in providing this service to articling students who do not wish to have a private ceremony while maintaining the option of the individual bar call for others. The dates are July 26, 2019 (Edmonton) and August 9, 2019 (Calgary). The bar call will take place at 1:30 p.m. Chief Justice Moreau will preside over the ceremony in Edmonton and Associate Chief Justice Rooke will preside over the ceremony in Calgary.
All bookings (for the group bar call only) can be made with Krystle Fuller. She can be reached at 780-422-2319 or krystle.fuller@albertacourts.ca.
Students who wish to apply for the group bar call must comply with the Law Society of Alberta’s application requirements and deadlines. Please see the Law Society’s website for this information and contact them directly with any related questions.
The deadline for applying is Friday, May 24 at 4:00 p.m. The maximum number of participants for each bar call is 25.
