  • Excellent empathetic listening and communication skills.

  • Time commitment: two hours per month.

  • Must be a member in good standing with the Alberta Bar Association.

  • Must have accreditation as a practicing lawyer in Alberta.



ASSETS



  • Bilingualism.

  • An understanding of trauma-informed practices.



WORKING CONDITIONS
