For more than twenty-five years, NALP has helped US employers, law students, and lawyers find each other efficiently through the NALP Directory of Legal Employers, available online at www.nalpdirectory.com.

The NALP Canadian Directory of Legal Employers (CDLE) will provide Canadian law schools, lawyers and students with a comprehensive searchable directory of Canadian legal employers with summer student, articling and associate positions. The CDLE was developed in consultation with law schools and legal employers, and provides a new user-friendly online resource that will allow all Canadian law students to easily access up-to-date information about employers across the country. It will be promoted to law students by the Career Services/Development Offices at all Canadian law schools as the most important source for information on legal employers, and is intended to provide the primary resource for the publication of information on summer and articling recruitment in each jurisdiction.

Employers participate in the CDLE by completing profiles called “NALP Forms.” The NALP Form is used for two purposes: (1) to publish your organization's information in the NALP Canadian Directory of Legal Employers, and (2) to provide a standardized reference form which employers, law students, lawyers and law schools can print out from the online CDLE. You may use this Data Collection System to complete and submit your organization’s NALP Form for publication in the on-line CDLE, to update your NALP Form at any time, and to print and save your NALP Form.

If you choose not to list your organization in the CDLE, you may still complete and print a NALP Form to use in your recruiting efforts.

Getting Started (Your Employer ID)
To begin using the Data Collection System, click on the "Register" button above and complete the process to create your account, choose a password, and obtain an Employer ID. If you are already registered in this system and want to view or edit your NALP Form, please login by entering your Employer ID and password above.

To complete this form in French please click on “Francais” in the top right hand corner. Note that the information will appear online in the language you enter it in and users will have the choice of printing the information as entered with English or French headings. If you would like to have your information appear in English and in French you will need to complete and submit two separate listings and users can choose to access the information in English or French.

If you don’t know whether your organization is registered, or if you have forgotten your Employer ID, click on the Employer Search button at the top of the page.
