Why Local Counsel Matters in Calgary
Practicing law in Alberta. Legal matters in Alberta are governed by state-specific rules of civil and criminal procedure, statutes of limitations, and substantive law. Cases originating in Calgary are typically filed in the local municipal court or the appropriate Alberta state district court, depending on subject matter and amount in controversy.
