The Law Society and the Nunavut Branch of the Canadian Bar Association have developed a cooperative relationship designed to bring resident lawyers professional development / continuing education opportunities, with other incidental benefits, such as enhanced collegiality. To encourage resident members of the Law Society to continue to take advantage of the Branch’s activities or to become involved, the Law Society is offering a $100 rebate to its resident members who renew or join the CBA in 2009. The Law Society will verify his / her membership with the CBA and issue a cheque, as directed by the member, to the member or the entity that paid the member’s Law Society fees for 2009. Renewing members and new applicants should email lawsociety@qiniq.com when they have completed the process.
