Les juristes du multivers : Accepter nos rôles à multiples facettes dans la profession juridique et au-delà
Programme
En tant que juristes, nous assumons plusieurs fonctions et naviguons dans un monde diversifié de rôles au sein et au-delà de la profession juridique. Le 3 novembre 2023, la conférence biannuelle du Forum des avocates de l’ABC explorera ces identités à multiples facettes; la conférence comprendra quatre tables rondes axées sur les juristes, femmes et hommes, en tant que leaders, mentors, aidants et activistes et sur la manière dont l’avenir dynamique de la profession juridique pourrait façonner davantage ces rôles.
Rejoignez-nous à Toronto pour la conférence « Les juristes du multivers : Accepter nos rôles à multiples facettes dans la profession juridique et au-delà ». Il s’agit du premier événement en présentiel du Forum des avocates depuis plus de 4 ans, et le monde a changé de manière incommensurable depuis lors. La conférence fournira un contenu essentiel aux juristes, femmes et hommes, qui souhaitent devenir des leaders plus actifs, des mentors plus compatissants et des membres de la communauté plus impliqués - et les équiper pour la profession juridique de l’avenir.
Cet événement est inclusif et les enfants sont les bienvenus; les parents sont responsables de leur surveillance
