SUMMARY:CFLR Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:The Inaugural CFLR Legal Research Webinar\nThe Canadian Foundation for Legal Research (“CFLR”) is pleased to present its inaugural research webinar. Professor Martha Bailey of the Faculty of Law\, Queen’s University will present her family law research topic\, Jurisdiction to Make Parenting Orders\, in an online format at noon EST on Tuesday\, December 13\, 2022. Professor Bailey will examine the case law surrounding the increasing preference for having courts in the subject children’s habitual place of residence take jurisdiction to make such orders and will comment on the benefits and problems resulting from that approach. \nTo register for Professor Bailey’s webinar\, simply click on this link and complete the registration form. \nBackground\nThe CFLR is a non-profit\, trustee-led organization that awards grant funds annually to legal scholars in Canada. It supports research that is of value to Canadian lawyers\, notaries\, and judges in their day-to-day work in the law and in the administration of justice. Applications seeking grant support for projects that emphasize access to justice\, and Indigenous and family law issues are especially encouraged. \nThe Webinar Series Initiative\nCommencing in December 2022\, the CFLR will begin presenting a series of one-hour webinars featuring legal researchers whose projects have recently received Foundation funding. The purpose of the series is to amplify the beneficial impact of CFLR research dollars on Canadian society by extending the reach of the findings of researchers whose work receives Foundation support to lawyers\, members of the judiciary and members of law faculties across Canada. \nThe first few CFLR webinars will be offered in English; webinars in the French language will be introduced very soon thereafter. Initially\, the webinars will be offered at no cost to registrants\, three times annually. All webinars will be recorded and made accessible online so that those who are unable to attend in real time can view the recordings at future dates. \nUpdates\nCheck the “Legal Research Webinar Series” drop-down menu on the CFLR home page for periodic updates\, including the dates and presenter details for future webinar offerings. \nCanadian Foundation of Legal Research\nadmin@cflr-fcrj.ca\n900 Greensbank Road\, Suite 436\nOttawa\, ON\nK2J 4P6\nwww.cflr-fcrj.ca

SUMMARY:Children's Memory for Repeated Events: Can They Remember One Time?
DESCRIPTION:This presentation by Courthouse Libraries BC will explore how to begin to narrow the gap between the level of detail forensic interviewers expect from children who report repeated abuse and the ability of children to provide such reports. \nIt has been estimated that at least 50% of child complainants of sexual abuse report repeated abuse. When repeated abuse is reported\, professional forensic interviewers attempt to elicit as many details as possible about each alleged instance. \nIn this presentation\, Dr. Deborah Connolly with the Children’s Memory Research Lab at SFU’s Department of Psychology\, will discuss how the organization of memory for repeated events is different from the organization of memory for unique events. Dr. Connolly will consider conditions under which children may be able to isolate\nChildren’s memory for repeated events: Can they remember one time?details associated with one instance and conditions under which they are unlikely to provide this level of specificity. \nThis webinar is the 7th in our Criminal Law Scholars Series (CLSS)\, which is being co-hosted by Courthouse Libraries BC and the Criminal Defence Advocacy Society. Participants in this webinar may claim up to 1.5hrs of CPD with the Law Society of BC. \nPresenter: Dr. Deborah Connolly\, Simon Fraser University Department of Psychology\nModerator: Tamara Levy\, KC \nRead more [here]. \n

SUMMARY:Come from Away: Regional Practice Perspectives Webinar - Ontario Bar Association
DESCRIPTION:OBA INSURANCE LAW PROGRAM \nOntario is a big province\, with many jurisdictions. The practice of day-to-day law can differ in terms of nuance and procedures dependent on where you work. The way things are organized in Toronto courts\, are not the way they may be run in the north\, west\, east and south judicial regions. This CPD brings together judges and lawyers from outside of Toronto to tell us how things are done elsewhere. The specific topics that will be addressed are: \n\nJudges talk about their expectations for their courts;\nLawyers discuss the unique procedural features of their jurisdictions; and\nLawyers discuss the culture of the bar in their specific regions.\n\nThis is a unique opportunity to learn about how other court houses are run\, and the challenges and opportunities of practicing in other regions. \nProgram Chairs \n\nKaty Commisso\, Buset LLP (Thunder Bay)\nHarold Geller\, MBC Law Professional Corporation (Ottawa)\n\nProgram Speakers \n\nThe Honourable Justice F. Bruce Fitzpatrick\, Superior Court of Justice (Northwest Region)\nAssociate Justice Marie T.
