Alberta lawyers decry mandatory Indigenous cultural training imposed by law society yyc abpoli
“It will raise a lot of concern for people who may have a different worldview, who may have a different faith, who may have a different cultural perspective,” Song said. “Lawyers want to improve themselves by a lot of ways, but they don’t just want to be treated like a student.”
While the debate has spilled over into larger discussions of culture and politics, at least some of the signatories firmly believe what’s at issue is whether the law society actually has the power to implement continuing education. “I found it accurate when I took the course and I just thought, you know, there was a lot of effort put into this course, and I really thought it was a great response to that call to action,” Przepiorka said.
On Thursday, the 51 signatories of Song’s petition were countered by a 400-lawyer-strong letter that favours retaining the present training regime. It also includes another 124 signatures from non-active lawyers, and law and articling students, and urges the law society to keep the training requirement.Article content
