SUMMARY:From Advocate to Adjudicator - Putting it in Neutral
DESCRIPTION:Seminar Overview           \n This seminar will provide insights into becoming and being a neutral decision maker from an administrative law perspective. \nThere is no single road map for lawyers who want to become a neutral decision-maker or an independent adjudicator. Being a neutral is an uncertain and unfamiliar role for many lawyers. This CLE seminar will provide attendees with insights into how lawyers become neutral adjudicators and what it is like to act in a neutral role. This seminar will use a panel discussion format with the presenters responding to various questions from the moderator. The topics to be canvassed will include: \n\nWhy and how a lawyer becomes a neutral decision-maker;\nHow becoming a neutral changes a lawyer’s career path;\nThe positives and negatives of being a neutral as opposed to an advocate;\nThe “dos” and “don’ts” for lawyers who appear before neutral decision-makers; and\nWhat writing decisions is like\, particularly when facing appellate/judicial review.\n\nIn-person attendance is strongly encouraged where possible. Attendees are invited to stay after the seminar for a reception with refreshments. \nSeminar Moderator \n Hon.
