Across the country and across practices

Since Petra VanderLey’s call ceremony in 1992, she only wore these robes once or twice for the brief period she was litigator. While her career started in legal publishing, she moved cross-country to Vancouver to work for a large consulting firm, specializing in pensions and benefits. Not a single pension or benefits course was taken, nor available to take at the time!

Upon Petra’s retirement a few years ago, this robe was donated to help make a small difference in the legal profession.

"The CBA Robe Bank was an absolute lifesaver for me. Not only had I never owned my own robes until my call ceremony, I was scheduled for a trial the following month and I didn’t have enough time for my ordered robes to get to me, so the CBA generously let me keep the robes until the completion of a trial.

I would highly recommend this service for anyone looking for robes to borrow. They have a great selection, even for short people like me!"
