CABA is currently in discussions with the New York City Bar Association about participating in the organization of a CLE program on cross-border issues to be held in the Fall 2013 or Winter 2014.

We have been asked to canvas our membership for cross-border-related topics or issues that are top of mind currently for cross-border legal practitioners.

Please email any sugestions you may have to my attention at president@canambar.com or robertson.sarah@dorsey.com.

Thanks in advance!

New CABA Mentor Program

We have received numerous requests from law students and/or young lawyers with Canadian/US ties for mentors with similar cross-border backgrounds who can help them navigate their career paths.

If you are interested in either being mentored or acting as a mentor, please contact Sarah Robertson at president@canambar.com or robertson.sarah@dorsey.com.

We expect mentor responsibilities would not exceed an hour a month and appreciate all volunteers.  Each of the CABA Board of Directors will be taking on a mentor role.

We hope the new mentor program will help to promote networking within the CABA community.

Thanks, Sarah Robertson, President, CABA
