ALBERTA LAW FOUNDATION
The Alberta Law Foundation was established under the Legal Profession Act, effective April 1, 1973. The Foundation is the recipient of the interest which banks, credit unions, trust companies, and treasury branches must pay on clients' funds held in lawyers' general trust accounts. This does not include interest paid on a specific trust investment held for an individual client. The interest is made available by the Foundation to organizations engaged in activities that are considered to be in keeping with the Foundation's objectives. The Foundation does not provide legal information or advice.
