As a first or second-year law student, spending a summer working at Alberta Lawyers Indemnity Association (“ALIA”) is an exciting way for you to kickstart your career and gain valuable insight into what it takes to be successful in practice.
The Law Society of Alberta (the “Law Society”) regulates the legal profession in the public interest and is required by provincial statute to provide Alberta lawyers with an indemnity program. ALIA, a subsidiary of the Law Society, provides the mandatory indemnity program, which includes defending, repairing, and resolving professional liability claims, as well as dealing with misappropriation claims. Claims are managed by an internal claims team (claims counsel), who may also utilize external defence counsel where required.
By working as a student with ALIA, you will gain a unique perspective into the legal profession that is different from any other experience in a firm environment. Not only will you further develop your legal knowledge by providing support to lawyers on staff through legal research, writing and assistance, but you will also gain vital insight into practice risks that lawyers face daily and practical steps that can be taken to manage and avoid those risks. Your opportunities will include conducting research on claim files and presenting your recommendations to the claims team, as well as assisting ALIA leadership on ALIA projects.
Throughout the course of the summer and reporting to ALIA’s General Counsel and Senior Manager, Risk, you will have the opportunity to:
