The Law Societies of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan, the Nova Scotia Barristers’ Society and the Canadian Centre for Professional Legal Education (CPLED) are seeking feedback on how best to implement the Western Canada Competency Profile (WCCP) in the five participating provinces, all of which use the Practice Readiness Education Program (PREP) for bar admission training.

There are three key components being considered:
  1. Requiring students to complete the bar admission training program before they start articling.
  2. A more structured role for principals in teaching and assessing the WCCP competencies during articling.
  3. Development of resources required to support principals, supervising lawyers and students during articling.

Please read the full consultation paper before completing the survey, which sets out a new proposed approach for the bar admission process across the PREP jurisdictions, along with the key considerations that informed it.
