Back by popular demand! Following last year’s successful event, the CBA-NL is excited to once again bring young lawyers together for an afternoon of practical professional development, connection, and networking on Friday, June 12.
Justice Justin Mellor of the Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador will lead a practical session focused on courtroom skills and expectations that are often learned through experience and mentorship. The session will cover topics including:
⚖️ Addressing the Court
⚖️ When to stand or sit
⚖️ Courtroom decorum and professionalism
⚖️ Appropriate courtroom attire
⚖️ General courtroom conduct and preparation
Whether you’re preparing for your first appearance or simply looking for a refresher, this is a valuable opportunity to gain practical insight and ask questions in an informal setting.
Following the session, join us for a young lawyer mingle, a chance to connect with colleagues, expand your network, and enjoy refreshments together.
