Preventive Justice: The Quest for Certainty in Predicting Future Harm
2025-05-07 19:00
Chief Justice Sir Francis Forbes Annual Law Lecture
Location: Inco Innovation Centre Lecture Theatre 2001
Free Parking in Adjacent Lot 17
Memorial University Campus

The term “preventive justice” was first used in the 18th century and linked to laws aimed at preventing future crime. In many jurisdictions based on the common law, the past few decades have seen preventive justice schemes reinvigorated in association with a focus on risk assessment tools aimed at predicting the risk of future harmful behaviour. Recently, predictive machine learning algorithms have been used to inform judicial decision-making, including sentencing. Using case studies, this lecture will explore some of the legal and ethical issues raised by preventive justice schemes and will consider whether the quest for certainty in predicting future harm is any closer to being fulfilled.
Brought to you by Memorial University, the Law Society of Newfoundland and Labrador, and the Law Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Featuring guest speaker:
Dr. Bernadette McSherry
Emeritus Professor of Law
University of Melbourne
This is a unique opportunity to engage with a leading expert in the field of preventive justice and to discuss the evolving role of law and technology in shaping our legal landscape. Don’t miss out on the chance to deepen your understanding of these critical issues and connect with professionals in the legal community.

Artificial Intelligence in Legal Practice: Ethics, Innovation, and Regulation
2025-05-08 13:00 - 15:30 | 3rd Floor, Law Society Building, 196-198 Water Street, St. John’s, Canada
Seminar Overview
Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming the practice of law – introducing new tools, reshaping workflows, and raising complex ethical and regulatory questions. This seminar will explore the implications of AI for legal professionals, with a particular focus on ethical duties, regulatory considerations, and how AI is being implemented in legal practice in Newfoundland and Labrador and across Canada.
Participants will gain a clearer understanding of what AI is and how it is being used in legal settings today, including tools such as predictive analytics, document review platforms, and generative language models. The session will examine how these technologies intersect with lawyers’ professional obligations – particularly competence, confidentiality, and candour – and will consider how legal regulators might respond to ensure public protection and uphold professional standards.
In addition to legal practice, the seminar will also touch on the growing use of AI in courts and tribunals, highlighting broader trends and innovations within the justice system. The session will include practical examples from local practice and reflections on international developments, offering a well-rounded perspective on the challenges and opportunities AI presents.
This session is ideal for legal professionals seeking to better understand the evolving role of AI in legal services and regulation, both in theory and on the ground.

May 14th: Richard Martin –Mindful Business Charter
We all know the concerns around mental health in the legal profession. Many of the measures to address it are either about supporting people in distress or encouraging them to be more resilient rather than addressing the causes of the distress. The Mindful Business Charter (MBC) is a movement of law firms and their clients aiming to reduce unnecessary stressors in the workplace. In this session, CEO Richard Martin provides practical concrete examples of how the MBC can be applied in any workplace. You will also learn more about the MBC and how to get involved with the valuable work they are doing to create a healthier profession for the future.

May 15th: Ryann Peyton – Well-Being is a Team Sport
We often think of well-being as an individual problem, solvable with simple fixes such as doing more yoga, drinking more water, getting more rest, and setting boundaries. Yet the research continues to show that personal solutions are not enough to combat the systemic, structural, and cultural elements of the legal profession that keep people unwell. If lawyers don’t take care of each other…who will? The responsibility for driving well-being change in the legal profession is on all of us. Incorporating actionable and replicable goals and strategies to drive true culture change, this presentation will explore how a community-based approach to lawyer well-being can remove the often artificial, unnecessary, and outmoded barriers that prevent legal professionals from being able to perform at their best.

Critical Incident Group Debriefing
2025-05-27 | Online
Critical incidents are situations that occur outside of our normal frame of reference and challenge us to understand and cope with what has happened. Critical Incident Group Debriefing (CIGD) is a short-term group intervention process that focuses on an immediate event. CIGD is one of several methods that may be utilized to lessen the likelihood of people experiencing symptoms of trauma and stress after a critical incident. This group debriefing process provides a place for participants to talk and share experiences, and for the facilitator to teach and provide information about the impact of critical incidents. While participants of this workshop will learn how to facilitate a group debriefing, they will also learn how to discern when CIGD is appropriate for a group and when it might not be a suitable intervention.

Learning Objectives
Upon completion, participants should be able to:

Understand how people respond differently to the same event
Describe a framework for facilitating a group debriefing
Know the benefits and potential problems with group debriefing
Identify when critical incident group debriefing is appropriate
Apply principles learned to their own environment

Method of Delivery
Presentation, video, case study exercises, experiential practice, personal reflection, delivered electronically.

Some of the Topics Included

Definitions and Overview
Role of Group Debriefing
Possible Reactions to a Critical Incident
