Centennial Book Illustrates Vibrant History


If you are seeking a special gift item, you may consider the recently published centennial book, Just Works: Lawyers in Alberta 1907-2007.

The Law Society of Alberta launched a special commemorative book in honour of 100 years of service in Alberta, on October 23, 2007 at Lougheed House in Calgary.

"Just Works is a collection of essays illustrating the vibrant history of the law and lawyers in Alberta, which is being published in honour of the 100th Anniversary of the Law Society of Alberta," says Jim Peacock, president of the Law Society of Alberta.
