CPLED is a non-profit organization mandated with the task of
administering one portion of the pre-call process in Alberta,
Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
The CPLED board of directors is made up of individuals from
the three provincial law societies.
Bar admission preparation is comprised of two distinct parts:
participation in the bar admission course, and the articling
experience in a law firm or organization. The two parts, together,
provide the basis for determining whether articling students
have met the qualifications for licensing by the Law Society
as competent general practice lawyers.
The CPLED Program is the bar admission course in Alberta, Manitoba
and Saskatchewan. Students are expected to complete the CPLED
program and complete articling requirements.
In Alberta, students will be completing the CPLED Program while
articling.
The CPLED Program is delivered through three provincial organizations:
the Legal Education Society of Alberta, the Law Society of Saskatchewan - Bar Admissions Office, and the Law Society of Manitoba. Each of the provinces
has a provincial director, who is responsible for administering
the CPLED Program in that province. All inquiries about the CPLED
Program should be directed to the provincial CPLED office.

The pre-call process is multifaceted (three-fold) with an emphasis
placed on self learning. Students are expected to draw on the
knowledge gained in law school, through their articling experience
and the CPLED program to develop the skills required by the Law
Societies.
