Academy of Law

Established in January of 1999, the QCBA Academy of Law was created to expand opportunities and the diversity of continuing legal education offered at the Bar Association. Our seminars, created and taught by our distinguished committee chairs and members, inspire and expand knowledge and awareness within the legal professional community. Monthly meetings are open to individuals who wish to teach, produce or assist in coordinating programs that will improve the knowledge and awareness of our membership and the legal profession.
