Criminal Law for Alberta Legal Professionals equips current and aspiring legal administration professionals with the essential competencies required for a successful career in Alberta’s criminal law field. This practical resource guides readers through the life span of a typical criminal client file, from the initial client meeting to sentencing and appeals.
With a strong emphasis on practical and procedural components, this guide addresses a variety of daily legal administrative tasks, including communicating with clients on a lawyer’s behalf, identifying legal forms, scheduling court dates, preserving client confidentiality, preparing trial binders, and more. Client scenarios, highlight boxes, reflection questions, and Alberta-specific sample forms contextualize key processes and encourage readers to apply what they’ve learned to real-world situations that they will encounter in their legal careers.
