For Lawyers and Students
Becoming a Lawyer in Saskatchewan
National Mobility Transfers
A lawyer who is a member of a law society in another Canadian
jurisdiction can practice in Saskatchewan by:
- Temporarily providing legal services pursuant to the National
Mobility Agreement;
- Becoming a member of the Law Society of Saskatchewan pursuant
to the National Mobility Agreement or the Territorial Mobility
Agreement, which includes completion of the Saskatchewan Reading Requirements;
or
- Applying for Admission as a Canadian Legal Advisor if you are a
member of the Barreau du Quebec, pursuant to the Quebec Mobility
Agreement.
*Please note, foreign lawyers and students who
hold law degrees from foreign law schools/Canadian Civil Code
law schools do not qualify for transfer under mobility
agreements. Those applicants must complete the
requirements for students-at-law, located in the Students
section.
The Law Society of Saskatchewan is a signatory to the National Mobility
Agreement, the Territorial Mobility
Agreement and the Quebec Mobility
Agreement. The relevant Law Society of
Saskatchewan Rules and Frequently Asked
Questions provide assistance with understanding how to
implement the rules under the mobility agreements. Further
information can also be found at the Federation of Law
Societies of Canada website.
