SUMMARY:Disabilities that Elude Diagnosis: Accommodating employees with undiagnosed or poorly understood conditions by the Nova Scotia Barristers Society
DESCRIPTION:Challenges often arise in accommodating employees with conditions that cannot be identified by a clear diagnostic test or that are not yet well-understood within the medical community. In this session\, experts will address these challenges\, answering questions including: \n\nWhat are common medical conditions that elude diagnosis\, or that are considered “diagnoses of exclusion”? Why does “long COVID” fall within that list?\nIs a definitive diagnosis\, or “objective evidence\,” necessary to establish disability? How should employers and unions respond where there is a lack of available medical practitioners with the requisite knowledge or experience to assess and attest to the condition?\nHow can employers and unions effectively formulate requests for medical information where an employee’s condition cannot be confirmed using a clinician’s diagnostic test?\nWhen sick leave abuse is a concern\, how can an employer distinguish between employees who have genuine\, difficult-to-diagnose disabilities\, and employees who are feigning illness? May an employer discipline or dismiss an employee who is frequently absent\, underperforming\, or exhibiting atypical workplace behaviours but who asserts that it is due to an as-yet undiagnosed disability?\nHow do the stereotypes and stigmas associated with these medical conditions contribute to the challenge of providing accommodation?\nWhat types of accommodations may be of assistance to an employee suffering from persistent or chronic symptoms that may impact their ability to work? For example: What measures may assist an individual with long COVID?

SUMMARY:Hear the Child - The BC approach to including the child's views and preferences

The interviewers do not assess the child nor the parents.\n________________________________________\nBev Churchill is a family lawyer\, collaborative professional\, mediator and parenting coordinator.

Alternatively\, members may register for individual sessions by following the links in the descriptions below. All sessions will be delivered online only. Members should be aware that they will have access to recordings of the lectures if they are unable to participate at the noted date(s)/time(s). \nRegister for all 5 Sessions \nSession 1: Back to Basics: Purposes\, Sources & Fundamental Concepts of Canadian Evidence Law – November 30\, 2023\nSession 2: Shortcuts to Proof: How to Avoid Leading Evidence (or Lead Less of It) – January 18\, 2024\nSession 3: Opinion Evidence: Admissibility\, Pitfalls – February 20\, 2024\nSession 4: Famous and Frustrating: The Law of Hearsay – March 19\, 2024\nSession 5: Documents\, Electronic Documents\, and Affidavits – April 16\, 2024 \nSession 1 : Back to Basics: Purposes\, Sources & Fundamental Concepts of Canadian Evidence Law\nThursday November 30\, 2023\, 1:00 – 4:00 pm\n \nIn this foundational session\, we will embark on a journey through the bedrock of Evidence Law\, exploring essential sources and core concepts. After a review of relevance\, materiality\, and the distinction between direct and circumstantial evidence\, we will delve into the Supreme Court’s “Principled Approach\,” with attention to how evidence rules differ in civil and criminal cases. The burdens and standards of proof will also be examined\, laying a strong groundwork for the subsequent sessions. \nRegister for Session 1 \nSession 2: Shortcuts to Proof: How to Avoid Leading Evidence (or Lead Less of It)\nThursday\, January 18\, 2024\, 1:00 – 4:00 pm \nSession 2 will equip you with the tools to streamline and reduce the amount of evidence that you are required to lead in trials and hearings. We’ll dive into the world of presumptions and the strategic use of formal admissions\, agreed statements of fact\, and in-trial agreements. Furthermore\, we’ll unravel the intricacies of judicial notice\, enabling you to navigate this valuable shortcut to proof. \nRegister for Session 2 \nSession 3: Opinion Evidence: Admissibility\, Pitfalls\nTuesday\, February 20\, 2024\, 1:00 – 4:00 pm \nOpinion evidence can be a tricky terrain to navigate\, but in Session 3\, we will demystify it for you. Starting with the common law bar on witnesses giving opinions\, we will examine the expert opinion exception. You’ll gain insights into the qualification of experts\, the White Burgess test for admissibility\, and how the law deals with expert bias. We’ll also shed light on the lay opinion exception\, looking at traditional categories and the “principled” lay opinion exception\, as well as the troublesome line between lay and expert opinion. \nRegister for Session 3 \nSession 4: Famous and Frustrating: The Law of Hearsay\nTuesday\, March 19\, 2024\, 1:00 – 4:00 pm \nSession 4 is dedicated to unraveling the complexities of hearsay evidence and the rules that govern its admissibility. We’ll begin by defining and identifying hearsay\, followed by an examination of the Supreme Court’s “principled approach” to hearsay\, emphasizing the crucial factors of necessity and reliability. As we explore hearsay exceptions (including the “principled exception”)\, you’ll gain a firm grasp of how this intricate web of rules operates. We’ll also compare and contrast the treatment of hearsay evidence in criminal and civil contexts. \nRegister for Session 4 \nSession 5: Documents\, Electronic Documents\, and Affidavits\nTuesday\, April 16\, 2024\, 1:00 – 4:00 pm \nIn the final session\, we’ll tackle the multifaceted world of documents\, electronic records\, and affidavits. We will carefully unpack the distinctions between authentication\, the “original document” rule and admissibility. Our exploration will extend to the challenges of authenticating electronic documents and data\, such as social media content\, under the Canada Evidence Act and the NL Evidence Act. We’ll also delve into the practical but nuanced art of affidavit-writing\, highlighting examples of both effective and flawed affidavits\, highlighting best practices and pitfalls to avoid. \nRegister for Session 5 \nSeminar Presenter \nRobert J. Currie\, K.C. \nRobert J. Currie\, K.C. is Distinguished Research Professor at the Schulich School of Law\, Dalhousie University\, where his teaching areas include: evidence; Canadian\, international & cross-border criminal law; civil procedure; international law; and advocacy.

The immigration environment is indeed a very stressful workplace for practitioners. We cannot control the disruptions due to IRCC’s continual program changes or ongoing platform issues. But we do have more control over our relationships with clients – and managing this well is a matter of proper protocols\, not luck. This seminar offers practical ways to manage client relationships and deal with difficult client behavior in keeping with the tenets of the Code of Professional Conduct. \nTOPICS TO BE COVERED \n\nDefensive practice explained: What it is\, and why it’s key\nManaging stress in client relationships through specific strategies:\n\nMore time in proper communication (and less time fixing things)\nManaging client expectations\nEffective use of service agreements\nA payment system that rewards you fairly\nEnforcing the contract and professional boundaries\n\n\nSeven types of difficult client behavior and how to deal with them\nWhen to fire a client and how to it properly\nWhen the client discharges you – follow the steps\nYour turn: Examples of stressful client relations: How to avoid\, or handle?\n\nSpeaker/s: \nLynn Gaudet B.A.\, LLB.
