The NALP Canadian Directory of Legal Employers (CDLE) provides Canadian law schools, lawyers and students with a comprehensive searchable directory (www.nalpcanada.com) of Canadian legal employers with summer student, articling and associate positions. The CDLE was developed by NALP in consultation with Canadian law schools and legal employers, and provides a user-friendly online resource that allows all Canadian law students to easily access up-to-date information about employers across the country. It is 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 online CDLE, to update your NALP Form at any time, and to print and save your NALP Form.

This Data Collection System will allow you to complete and submit the NALP Form in English, French, or both. If you would like to have your information appear in both languages, you will need to complete the form in both languages. Users of the public site can choose to access the CDLE in English or French and can toggle between the two languages.

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