CBA Alberta (CBA-AB) recognizes the importance of volunteerism within the legal community and that its work would not be done without the dedication of its volunteers. The intent of this policy is not to limit the many capacities in which volunteerism may occur.

Purpose

The purpose of this policy is to protect the interests of CBA-AB by:

  1. Preventing situations in which the personal interests or professional duties of Volunteers may interfere, or appear to interfere, with their duties to the CBA-AB; and
  2. Avoiding the improper use, or the appearance of improper use, of CBA-AB information and resources for the financial, professional, personal, or political gain of Volunteers.

This policy does not replace, and is intended to supplement, the Law Society of Alberta’s Code of Conduct or any applicable federal or provincial laws regarding conflicts of interest.
