SUMMARY:The Role of Cognitive Bias on Lawyers and the Practice of Law: Toronto Lawyers Association
DESCRIPTION:How do wrongful convictions really occur? How do opposing counsel have such opposing views of a matter? And why does the truth sometimes seem so difficult to distill? Answer: cognitive biases. \n\n\n\nWe are designed to organize patterns in our complex\, information-filled world\, allowing us to be efficient and make rapid decisions with little mental effort. Relying on these “mental shortcuts” has the potential to skew or undermine criminal investigations and lead to wrongful convictions\, and it even has the power to blind us from objectivity and fact. \nThis TLA special presentation will be led by David Rudolf\, criminal defense and civil rights lawyer featured in Netflix’s hit The Staircase and civil rights and criminal defense lawyer Sonya Pfeiffer. Sonya is also an award-winning journalist who covered the real-life trial behind The Staircase. The husband-wife duo will use a real-life case study from the trial of Michael Peterson (as depicted in The Staircase) to demonstrate how unconscious bias plays out in a complex and high-profile criminal trial. Throughout the program\, David and Sonya will engage the audience by asking questions and conducting polls. Participants are also encouraged to ask questions. \nJoin us in person or online. This unique and fascinating presentation will appeal to all lawyers\, regardless of practice area. \nWebsite\nwww.tlaonline.ca \nEmail\ndharrington@tlaonline.ca

SUMMARY:Regulatory Proceedings and Criminal Offences
DESCRIPTION:Conceptually\, there is a clear distinction between regulatory offences that do not require mens rea and criminal offences that do require mens rea. However\, process-wise\, this distinction becomes less clear\, as there is a wide range of regulatory proceedings that can morph into criminal investigations and\, in the end\, criminal charges. \nThis course will examine regulatory processes\, their operation\, and their implications for counsel who must handle proceedings in this dual-function context. The regulated industries covered in this program will include: securities\, gaming\, taxation\, work safe\, environmental\, and government accountability. \nWho should attend: Crown counsel\, defence counsel\, corporate solicitors\, civil litigators\, and in-house counsel \nLaw Society of BC CPD Hours: 6 hours (this course will contain a minimum of 1 hour pertaining to professional responsibility and ethics\, client care and relations\, and/or practice management) \nMonday\, November 14 | 9:00 am – 4:30 pm (PST) via webinar \nRegister here \n  \n  \n
