Speakers will share information about navigation services\, research into “early” and preventative mediation\, and how to best support clients in preparing for and participating in these processes. \nSpeakers will also discuss examples of changes and increased opportunities for CDM\, as First Nations exercise jurisdiction for their children and develop legislation to guide decision-making in this area. \nLegal advocates\, please contact Customer Service for a special price. \nMediate BC Roster mediators will receive 20% off the full regular course registration fee.

SUMMARY:Trans Competency for Lawyers – Navigating Gender Together
DESCRIPTION:Seminar Overview       \nTransgender and gender non-conforming people face unique legal issues because of their gender identity and/or expression. They are also people who need legal services for everyday legal problems. Lawyers and staff can expect to work with transgender and gender non-conforming people as staff\, clients or as another party or counsel.  How can lawyers and advocates work to end discrimination and support our trans clients? Lawyers have Rules of Professional Conduct that require us to treat people with civility and respect. We must also adhere to provincial human rights legislation. Join Gemma Hickey\, author and trans activist\, and Carey Majid\, KC from the Human Rights Commission to learn about these challenges and what we can do to make sure our legal services are as inclusive as possible. \nTopics will include: \n\nA lawyer’s ethical obligations\nTerminology – who are trans people and how do we talk about them respectfully?\nLegal issues related to client identification and verification\, privacy and confidentiality\, legal vs. chosen name/pronouns\, legal changes to identity documents\, same sex marriage\, identification in court/tribunals\, and human rights and the duty to accommodate.\n\nSeminar Presenters \nGemma Hickey \nA multi-awarding winning international author\, human rights advocate and global speaker from Newfoundland and Labrador\, Gemma Hickey’s advocacy has made headlines worldwide and changed the legal landscape of Canada expanding the rights\, dignity\, and equality of women\, the LBGTQ2+ community and survivors of religious institutional abuse. \nGemma became a well-known force for change in 2003\, when they travelled to Halifax to present a brief on same-sex marriage to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights. In 2004\, they co-lead the movement that legalized same-sex marriage in Canada as national President of Egale\, and in 2008 as national President of PFLAG Canada\, they lobbied Canadian Blood Services to end the gay blood ban. \nIn 2017\, their court application requesting a gender-neutral birth certificate spurred the Newfoundland and Labrador government to change its law\, and Gemma became the first person to receive a non-binary birth certificate and Passport. \nIn 2013\, Gemma founded the Pathways Foundation\, a non-profit organization that supports survivors of religious institutional abuse. To raise awareness and funds for the cause\, they walked across Newfoundland in July of 2015. In 2019\, they co-founded ACTS Canada (Advocates for Clergy Trauma Survivors) to support survivors nation-wide and represented Canadian clergy abuse survivors in Rome during the first ever Papal Summit on clergy sexual abuse. \nGemma’s physical and personal journey through gender transformation is the subject of the documentary\, Just Be Gemma. The film aired on CBC television and the Documentary Channel in 2017\, screened at various Canadian film festivals in 2018\, and made its international debut in 2019 in Japan. \nGemma’s memoir\, Almost Feral (Breakwater 2019) won Best Atlantic Published Book Award\, and the Margaret and John Savage First Book Award at the Atlantic Book Awards. In 2020 CBC Books listed Gemma as one of 24 Canadian writers to be featured on their Writers to Watch List and named\, Almost Feral as one of 40 Canadian books on the summer reading list. The book continues to receive rave reviews and was recently acquired by a publisher in Japan. \nGemma has consulted with all levels of government on gender equity\, inclusion and diversity and was invited to attend Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s apology to the LGBTQ2+ community in 2017. In 2021\, because of their lobbying efforts to ban conversion therapy in Canada\, they were invited back to Ottawa by Justice Minister David Lametti to witness the tabling of the bill and speak alongside him on Parliament Hill. Gemma has also given addresses at universities\, and Canadian Embassies in different parts of the world. In Geneva\, they spoke about gender equity\, diversity and sexual violence before various countries and UN bodies. In Rome\, they spoke to Vatican officials on the importance of releasing all documents pertaining to residential schools. This fall\, they return to Rome and Geneva\, and finally The Hague\, to speak at the International Court of Justice on the rights of the child. \nTheir dedication to social justice and community engagement has led them to serve on the boards of diverse organizations\, including the St. John’s Status of Women’s Council\, Food Security Network\, Human Rights Association\, and Community Mediation Services. They were instrumental in the creation of two supportive housing facilities: Marguerite’s Place\, for women and The Tommy Sexton Centre for people living with HIV and AIDS. \nGemma is also passionate about the arts and has served on a range of volunteer boards such as the St. John’s International Women’s Film Festival\, Writer’s Alliance of NL\, Literary Arts Foundation\, Tramore Productions and Resource Centre for the Arts. \nAn emerging filmmaker\, they recently produced a short documentary entitled On The Fringe highlighting the plight of female sex workers during the pandemic in St. John’s. Upcoming documentaries include Road to Rome which follows clergy abuse survivors from different parts of the world on a pilgrimage to the Vatican and In the Name of the Father\, an auto-ethnographic take on the heteropatriarchy and coloniality within the Catholic Church. \nIn 2012 Gemma was recognized with a Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal for their contributions to human rights in Canada\, and in 2016\, named a Newfoundland and Labrador Human Rights Champion. Since 2010\, they have worked as the Executive Director of Artforce NL\, an arts-based charity that helps marginalized youth overcome socio-economic barriers. \nGemma is currently a Masters Candidate in Gender Studies at Memorial University. They live in St. John’s where they enjoy hiking the coastline and swimming in fresh water all year round. \nCarey Majid\, KC \nCarey Majid\, KC (she/her) is the Executive Director of the Newfoundland and Labrador Human Rights Commission.

DESCRIPTION: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. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives\nUpon completion\, participants should be able to: \n\nUnderstand how people respond differently to the same event\nDescribe a framework for facilitating a group debriefing\nKnow the benefits and potential problems with group debriefing\nIdentify when critical incident group debriefing is appropriate\nApply principles learned to their own environment\n\n*Please allow only the registered individual(s) to view webinar materials \n\n\nMethod of Delivery\nPresentation\, video\, case study exercises\, experiential practice\, personal reflection\, delivered electronically. \n\n\n\n\n\nSome of the Topics Included\n\nDefinitions and Overview\nRole of Group Debriefing\nPossible Reactions to a Critical Incident\nResponse Variables\nPost-Traumatic Stress Disorder\nGroup Debriefing History\nGroup Debriefing Models\nBenefits and Problems with Group Debriefing\nPreparing for a Group Debriefing\nCIGD Phases\nConsiderations About the Process\nTips for Facilitators\nCo-Facilitating\n\n\n\nTarget Audience\nThis is an intermediate level workshop intended for school personnel\, social service and health care professionals\, counsellors\, social workers\, managers\, human resource professionals\, and anyone seeking a better understanding of how to facilitate a group debriefing after a tragic event. \n\n\nTerms & Conditions\nView our cancellation policy and other information regarding your live virtual workshop or for your in-person workshop. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTrainer: John Koop Harder \nMSW\, RSW\nJohn has been working as a therapist and trainer for over 20 years.

DESCRIPTION:If you are working on any kind of process change\, information\, security or privacy management initiative then you will not want to miss Privacy by Design: More Than Just a Catchy Phrase . This session is open to all and is FREE of charge. \nDescription\n“Privacy by design” has been part of the privacy practitioners’ vernacular for well over a decade\, but for many the phrase remains vague. In this talk\, the author of the IAPP CIPT textbook\, Strategic Privacy by Design\, will walk through the development of a hypothetical smart thermostat following the recently released Design Process Standard from the Institute of Operational Privacy Design. For many participants this will open up a new avenue of thinking about privacy beyond the laws\, principles and programmatic elements they are most familiar with and provide a level of concreteness to the concept beyond the broad to “build privacy in.”     \nSpeaker\nR.

SUMMARY:Estate Planning for Beneficiaries with a Disability
DESCRIPTION:Who Should Attend\nNew and experienced estate planners will benefit from attending this program. \n\n\nAbout the Program\nCreating an estate plan for a family that includes a person with a disability raises special issues and considerations outside of the typical estate planning engagement. Families must make careful choices about estate planning strategies and tools\, taking into consideration their loved one’s unique circumstances and anticipated needs. This program will introduce estates practitioners to the opportunities\, challenges and emotions unique to planning for a person with a disability. Noted disability lawyer Brendon Pooran will review the resources\, funding\, documents and structures involved in disability planning and share practical advice to help ensure the financial\, living\, and health requirements of individuals with disabilities continue to be met after a caregiver or provider passes away. In addition\, Brendon will discuss common planning errors that can reduce the financial support available to beneficiaries with a disability and expose them to financial exploitation. Topics include: \n\nPlanning tools\, including Henson Trusts\nAppointing decision-makers\nCreating supports to assist with incapacity issues\nAddressing risks of susceptibility\n\nDon’t miss this chance to learn how you can help give families peace of mind that their loved one’s needs will continue to be met\, even when a family member is no longer there to organize and advocate on their behalf. \n\n\nMeet Your Presenter\n\nBrendon Pooran has been involved with various disability organizations as a member\, volunteer\, employee or director for most of his life.

Don’t miss this fall’s Legal Research 2023 — a course that will take a deep dive into the current state of legal research and where it’s headed. We’re proud to be teaming up with the BC Law Institute to bring this program both to Vancouver and via webinar on Tuesday\, October 17. So be sure to save the date! \nIncreasingly\, the practice of law is influenced in various ways by technology and AI. The rise of data and the way it is managed by technology impacts the role of lawyers and the judiciary. Governments are taking steps to respond to the impacts of AI and the legal profession needs to understand how it affects their work. \nThis intermediate level course will focus on how AI and emerging technologies impact various aspects of the legal research method\, the products of legal research\, and the way in which those products are received by their judicial audience. \nWith a wide array of legal research resources now available\, it can be challenging to know which are the most efficient at supporting different steps in the process. You can expect to gain a better understanding of how AI has been integrated into various legal research tools and how it can help or hinder your work. \nLearn some of the pitfalls to watch for when relying on AI-supported research and how to ensure your submissions are based on a solid foundation. Discover how emerging technologies are transforming approaches to Aboriginal rights and Indigenous litigation. Hear from members of the judiciary about recent legal research trends or habits that have made an impression on them. \nExperienced and innovative legal researchers will share tips for combining traditional strategies with creative use of technology and design thinking to successfully solve even the most challenging research problems. \nWho should attend: This course will be of interest to all lawyers and their support staff who have occasion to assist with legal research
