41. The Professional Training Committee verifies whether the authorized articling period or portion of the articling period constitutes, in accordance with section 30, valid preparation for the practice of the profession of advocate. For that purpose, the Committee may request from the articling supervisor or articled student, or from or any other person who contributed to the period, information and documents to enable the Committee to determine the validity of the articling period.
