SUMMARY:Regulatory Offences and Criminal Prosecution 2024
DESCRIPTION:Understand the nuances of the regulatory regime/criminal law nexus! \nCan’t make the webinar or rebroadcasts?\nWant online CPD available 24/7?\n \nSubscribe to Courses On Demand\, our comprehensive online resource with 1\,500+ videos and 5\,400+ papers from CLEBC courses. This course will be added to Courses on Demand approximately 30 days from the original course date. \nWho should attend: Crown counsel\, defence counsel\, corporate solicitors\, civil litigators\, and in-house counsel at all levels \nLearning level: All levels \nRegulated industries are most often regulated by criminal\, quasi-criminal\, and administrative sanctions. However\, each enforcement branch requires counsel to practice in very different institutional and legal environments. \nOften\, defence counsel must defend persons accused of regulatory offences in parallel administrative proceedings. Conversely\, defence counsel assisting a client during an investigation\, review\, audit\, or other regulatory inquiry must be aware of when such a process might lead to a criminal or quasi-criminal prosecution. The practice is fraught with procedural\, legal\, and strategic peril. \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\, forestry\, mining\, environmental protection\, taxation\, and workplace safety\, among others. \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) \nCourse Chair\nChilwin Cheng — Ascendion Law\, Vancouver\n \n\n\n\n\n*Please note: The in-person session is dependent on a minimum number of registrants and may not be confirmed until 4 weeks before the course date. \nAre you a member of the Indigenous legal community (lawyer/Articled Student/legal support staff/paralegal) or a non-lawyer Indigenous community member?\nWe value your contributions and encourage your participation in all of our programs. To increase accessibility\, we offer a 50% discount* to all Indigenous lawyers/Articled Students/legal support staff/paralegals and a limited number of free online registrations to non-lawyer Indigenous community members (*discount applies to Regular prices\, not Early Bird prices). Please contact Customer Service to find out more. \nUnable to attend a course without financial assistance from CLEBC?\nClick here for bursary information. \nWant to register for a course now\, but prefer a monthly payment plan?\nCheck out our Easy Pay Plan. \nRegistration includes an electronic copy of the reference materials and lunch for in-person registration.\n\n\n\nCLEBC Program Lawyer*\nRaymond Lee\nrlee@cle.bc.ca\n*non-practising

SUMMARY:Mediating High Conflict Disputes
DESCRIPTION:Limited enrolment for in-person registrations. Register early to avoid disappointment!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease note: This course will not be added to Courses on Demand. Courses involving professional speakers and skills-based workshops generally do not get added to Courses on Demand. \nWho should attend: All mediators and those acting as counsel in mediations \nLearning level: Intermediate \nHave your best mediation skills failed with some clients? And then felt that despite your best efforts\, some mediations are impossible? \nIt’s likely that you may have been mediating with one or more parties with a high conflict personality\, making it a high conflict dispute. \nHigh conflict disputes are different. They often involve one or more individuals with a pattern of high conflict behaviour\, characterized by all-or-nothing thinking\, unmanaged emotions\, extreme behaviour\, and preoccupation with blaming others. \nIn this one-day workshop\, instructor Michael Lomax will provide a new approach to mediating such disputes: New Ways for Mediation. This approach includes several paradigm shifts from ordinary mediation by not relying on insight\, expression of emotions\, or discussions of the past. \nInstead\, this method focuses on teaching clients four simple skills to use within a simple structure that keeps them focused on problem-solving solutions and away from venting\, reworking the past\, extreme demands\, rigid positions\, and other self-defeating behaviours. \nThe skills for mediators are also simple and less stressful\, so that they serve primarily as a guide and source of information throughout the process. Some or all of the tips and tools of this method can be used with any mediation. \nAfter this training\, you will: \n\nhave the necessary skills for handling high conflict mediations\nexperience increased confidence as you settle into the specific structure of this method\nlet go of feeling responsible for the outcome\n\nPrerequisite: It is recommended that you have already taken some introductory training in Dealing with High Conflict Behaviours with Michael Lomax or the High Conflict Institute. \nCourse Instructor\nMichael J.
