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. Fortier\, Superior Court of Justice (East Region)\nTara Lemke\, Williams Litigation Lawyers LLP (Ottawa)\nFrances Shapiro Munn\, Nelligan O’Brien Payne LLP (Ottawa)\nRobin Lepere\, Petrone & Partners (Thunder Bay)\nDhiren R. Chohan\, Weaver Simmons LLP (Sudbury)\n\nProgram Price\nCBA Member: $113* | CBA Student Member: $62* | Non-Member: $168* \n*plus applicable taxes
