SUMMARY:Recentering Food Law and Policy: Connecting People and Place - 7th Canadian Association for Food Law and Policy Conference (Ontario)
DESCRIPTION:Canada is the second-largest country by total area\, with the world’s longest coastline.  Despite our vast size and geographical diversity\, our food systems remain deeply interconnected.  The food we produce and consume often travels long distances. In the process\, disruptions in supply chains\, labour shortages\, food safety concerns and extreme climate events in one area\, can have ripple effects near and far\, impacting how our food systems function as well as the availability and accessibility of food across the country. \nFor our 7th Canadian Association for Food Law and Policy conference – and our first above the 45th parallel – we will explore questions of interconnectedness in food systems. We will do so by decentering and recentering ourselves. More specifically\, we will explore how interconnections may be experienced differently when examined from different perspectives and vantage points.  For example\, what can we learn about the state of our food systems and our modes of governance by foregrounding northern\, rural\, remote and Indigenous communities in our analysis?  How can a deeper understanding of Indigenous food systems\, laws and governance as well as their relationship to Canadian law inform our work? How do our relationships with the natural environment impact food systems\, and conversely how do our relationships with food impact the natural environment? \nHosted by Bora Laskin Faculty of Law\, this year’s conference will bring together scholars\, practitioners\, policymakers\, students\, community advocates and stakeholders from across the country for collective learning\, conversations\, connection and more. Possible topics of discussion could include\, but are not limited to: \n\n\nGoverning supply chains in an era of multiple and ongoing crises (from labour shortages\, to international conflicts\, to pandemics etc.) \n\n\nAdapting food safety regulations to respond to sustainability demands\, human health concerns and technological innovations \n\n\nNavigating pressing issues in agriculture law and policy\, including sustainable production\, big data\, farmland inequality\, consolidation and farmer succession planning \n\n\n\n\nTensions between harvesting and safeguarding fisheries \n\n\nThe impact of international trade and investment agreements – as well as Canada’s trade policies – in shaping food systems domestically and abroad \n\n\nThe role of northern urban centers\, like Thunder Bay\, in governing and participating in local\, regional and national food systems \n\n\nThe legal challenges and opportunities facing Indigenous\, northern\, rural and remote food systems\, as well as food systems actors\, such as producers and harvesters\, hunters and fishers\, producers\, entrepreneurs\, processors\, retailers and eaters \n\n\nThe intersections between food systems and human rights\, particularly the rights of Indigenous Peoples

SUMMARY:Civil Litigation Basics 2023
DESCRIPTION:Who should attend: Junior civil litigators and experienced litigators seeking a refresher on key elements within civil litigation \nLearning level: Fundamental \nHere is a chance to experience top litigators presenting actual arguments to actual judges. This unique course is designed for several groups\, including: lawyers in the first two years of practice\, lawyers changing areas of practice\, and experienced lawyers who want a conceptual refresher on key elements within civil litigation. The program will also be of interest to law students and articled students. \nLaunched in 2021 as a Zoom webinar\, this innovative program takes a new approach\, as registrants will experience the entire life cycle of a case by watching counsel present the necessary arguments at various stages of a single fact pattern. \nThe first time through their presentation\, counsel will be making all the mistakes that drive judges crazy. Participants will try to identify all those errors in real time\, then listen as the judges and counsel debrief on what should have been done better. Counsel will then re-present the argument in the most effective manner. \nRegistrants will have an opportunity to test their skills against those of their colleagues\, as prizes will be awarded to those who can identify the most errors. This course will focus on providing registrants with the knowledge base they need to avoid falling into error themselves. \nPlease note: the practice-focused course materials will relate to the fact pattern\, the analysis of issues\, and error identification within each stage of the litigation process. Registrants seeking a topic-by-topic review of the elements of civil litigation are directed to CLEBC’s Courses on Demand archive of Civil Litigation Basics 2018 and the associated reference materials. \nLaw Society of BC CPD Hours: 9 hours (this course will contain a minimum of 2 hours pertaining to professional responsibility and ethics\, client care and relations\, and/or practice management) \nCourse Chairs\nThe Honourable Mr. Justice Ward K. Branch — Supreme Court of BC\, Vancouver\nLuciana P. Brasil — Branch MacMaster LLP\, Vancouver
