SUMMARY:Strategies for Lawyers Dealing with Clients or Other Parties with Addictions or Mental Health Issues
DESCRIPTION:Seminar Overview     \nAs a lawyer\, you are likely to encounter clients or other parties who suffer from addictions or mental health issues\, which can significantly impact their ability to make sound decisions and engage in legal proceedings effectively. This seminar aims to equip lawyers with the necessary skills and strategies to navigate such situations with empathy\, sensitivity\, and professionalism. \nDuring this seminar\, you will learn how to identify and understand some common addictions and mental health issues that clients or other parties may experience. Our presenters will cover effective communication strategies that can help lawyers establish trust and rapport with individuals who are afflicted with addictions or mental health issues and highlight some of the resources that are available to help. The seminar will also provide guidance on how to effectively advocate for clients\, manage expectations\, and develop realistic goals and strategies for their cases. You will leave with a deeper understanding of these conditions and a greater ability to communicate\, advocate\, and navigate complex legal situations with empathy and professionalism. \nSeminar Presenters \nValerie Corcoran \nValerie Corcoran is the Coordinator for the Newfoundland and Labrador Drug Treatment Court (“DTC”) in St. John’s. She holds the dual role of being responsible for the continued oversight of the DTC and as the second member of the Drug Treatment Court Services treatment team. In 2023\, she will be responsible for the expansion of DTC’s to other regions of the province. \nHer experience in justice and specialty treatment courts was gained through her position with Legal Aid NL as Risk Assessment Officer with the Family Violence Intervention Court and through working within the federal and provincial prisons as Federal Prison Liaison with the John Howard Society of NL. \nIn addition to her experience in criminal justice\, Val holds a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology with a certification in Clinical Traumatology. \nMark Gruchy \nMark Gruchy has practiced in Criminal Defense since his call in 2007. He currently works with the Newfoundland and Labrador Legal Aid Commission’s Special Defense Unit. His work there focuses on complex and serious criminal law matters. The unit handles all files involving death being carried by the NL Legal Aid Commission. \nHe is also a well-known mental health advocate and speaker. Mark was the President of the Canadian Mental Health Association – NL for six years\, which made him the longest standing President in that organization’s history. He has appeared in local and national media numerous times speaking on mental health subjects. He has spoken to a wide range of community groups ranging from the judiciary to inmates at Her Majesty’s Penitentiary. \nMark received the Newfoundland and Labrador Human Rights Commission Human Rights Award in 2016. He has also received the NLC President’s award for saving lives\, the National CMHA Consumer Involvement and Pottle Award\, and the 2017 Canadian Senate Sesquicentennial Award. \nMark has a history of lived experience with mental illness. Bipolar disorder is relatively common in Mark’s family. Mark’s father\, who had bipolar disorder\, suffered a massive hemorrhagic stroke when Mark was nine. Mark experienced an immediate and severe emotional change\, showing signs of depression and intermittent periods of emotional intensity which manifested as sleeplessness and energetic outbursts. Despite being a top performing student all the way though school\, Mark was forced to leave school as a youth due to mental illness having experienced a steadily decline in his ability to attend due to severe depression commencing around Grade 4\, culminating in his barely attending Grade 12 at all. \nAfter time outside of the school system\, he returned via a specialized adult basic education program for people with mental illnesses. Mark’s friends in this program experienced the full range of mental illnesses one normally thinks of. This program allowed Mark to complete three years of high school in one year. He then proceeded to perform very well in university\, ultimately becoming a Lord Beaverbrook Scholar in Law at the University of New Brunswick. \nPatricia Kirby \nPatricia Kirby (nee Carpenter) was called to the Bar in April 2000.  She spent the majority of her career in public law\, first as a Crown Attorney\, then as a Staff Solicitor/Area Director with Legal Aid NL\, before returning to private practice With Mills Pittman Twyne in February 2023 as the “World’s Oldest Junior Associate”.  Patricia is a strong advocate for mental health and autism awareness.  When not working\, she enjoys cooking\, baking\, spending time with her family\, and creating impudent cross-stitch samplers. \nRiley Moss \nRiley Moss was called to the NL bar in 2003.

While litigation cannot be completely avoided\, there are simple client counselling and drafting tools that estate planners can use to reduce the likelihood of a will contest and ensure the testator’s intentions are successfully carried out. This program\, with experienced estates lawyer Lynne Butler\, will review steps to take\, and avoid\, during the planning and drafting stages of testamentary documents that will help safeguard your client’s wishes and minimize later litigation risk. From the first meeting to final document execution\, Lynne will discuss the risks inherent in estate planning transactions and share reminders of how even the most basic practices\, when not followed properly\, can undo a well-designed estate plan. Topics will include commonly litigated issues in will contests\, recognizing high risk situations for conflicts\, preventative measures to avoid disputes\, and drafting documents where a challenge is expected. By anticipating possible areas of challenge and using proactive drafting and defensive documentation techniques\, you can help your clients create valid\, effective testamentary documents that discourage disputes and ensure their estate plan remains intact. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how to prevent challenges to testamentary documents! \n\n\nMeet Your Presenter\n\nLynne Butler is a lawyer\, mediator\, and writer.

Speakers will share information about navigation services\, research into “early” and preventative mediation\, and how to best support clients in preparing for and participating in these processes. \nSpeakers will also discuss examples of changes and increased opportunities for CDM\, as First Nations exercise jurisdiction for their children and develop legislation to guide decision-making in this area. \nLegal advocates\, please contact Customer Service for a special price. \nMediate BC Roster mediators will receive 20% off the full regular course registration fee.
