Welcome to CAPSLE

CAPSLE is a national organization whose aim is to provide an open forum for the practical study of legal issues related to and affecting the education system and its stakeholders. Our members include teachers, administrators, board members, trustees, unions, school board associations, educators, academics, students, government and lawyers.

We held our 2010 national conference and annual general meeting at the end of April in Calgary on the theme of “The Rocky Road Ahead: Balancing Competing Interests.” Our 2011 Conference, to be held May 1-3, 2011 at the Sheraton Hotel in St. John's, Newfoundland & Labrador, will focus on “Rights and Reason: Shifting Tides in Law and Education.”

CAPSLE is pleased to also be able to invite you to participate in a Regional Seminar with ELA (Education Law Association). For details click here.

Aside from the annual conference and AGM, another significant initiative for CAPSLE is the CAPSLE Fellowship. The fellowship is given to one student per year enrolled in a faculty of law or a graduate school of education or related discipline at a Canadian university. Find out if you are eligible.

CAPSLE also produces a quarterly newsletter, CAPSLE Comments, which CAPSLE members receive as a benefit of membership. However, we are now publishing selected back issues online one year after their initial publication.

So, explore our website and find out more about the very effective network that CAPSLE is for educational and legal professionals alike.
