A recently launched Canadian Bar Association (CBA) survey aims to identify changes that can be made to articling programs across Canada to better “support the well-being and professional development of future lawyers”. Research reveals that approximately 25 per cent of articling students have had experiences that made them question whether they should stay in the legal profession. This CBA survey provides an opportunity to share positive and negative feedback about articling and make recommendations on ways to improve these programs.

The CBA “Evaluating the Impact of Articling: Best Practices and Areas for Reform” survey will remain open until Friday, November 15. The survey is available in English here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CBAarticling. The survey is available in French here: https://fr.surveymonkey.com/r/sondageABC.
