Information
Admission Requirements - Student-at-Law
The following information relates to the requirements and process involved in applying as
a student-at- law in the Yukon Territory.
We recommend that you review Part 2, Membership and Enrollment in Law Society, of the
Legal Profession Act and Rules 60 - 87. The Act and Rules can be found on our website at
www.lawsocietyyukon.com.
Kindly note that for your application to be complete, you must submit the following to this
office:
1. Completed Form 6 (Application for Admission – Student)
2. Completed Form 7 (Articling Agreement and attached Articling Skills and
Practice Checklist)
3. An official transcript of marks from the University you attended.
4. Membership fee in the amount of $157.50 ($150 plus $7.50 GST)
Please note that if a final transcript is not available at the time of your application, you
must indicate on Form 6, question #1 when your final transcript will be submitted.
As part of your articles you must attend a bar admission course approved by the Executive.
The British Columbia Professional Legal Training Course (PLTC) is an approved bar
admission course and the Yukon has a standing arrangement with B.C. whereby a reduced
fee to attend PLTC is charged to students enrolled in joint articles.
We recommend that you submit all material to this office at least four weeks in advance of
the date that you wish to commence articling in the Yukon so that the Executive has
sufficient time to consider your application. Failure to submit your materials four weeks in
advance may cause a delay in the proposed start date of your articling term. We understand
situations may arise that are unexpected and urgent. If an applicant requests consideration
of their application outside of a regularly scheduled Executive meeting, the Executive will
require, in writing, the reasons why there is a need to expedite the application.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Law Society office.
