Who should attend: Civil litigators at the intermediate level who wish to move beyond the basics and master the finer points of working with the Supreme Court Rules
Learning level: Intermediate
Knowledge of the Supreme Court Rules is a necessary but not sufficient condition to being a great civil litigator. Effective advocacy depends on counsel's knowledge of the Rules in practice and how to best utilize them in any given context. From pleadings to trial, the Rules govern; understanding their nuances is critical to moving files towards a satisfactory resolution.
This core practice course focuses on what counsel need to know to maximize their effectiveness in the increasingly challenging arena of civil litigation.
In this program, you will learn an arsenal of practice "secrets" that experienced counsel apply time and time again. This beyond-the-basics course will blend black letter law, practice tips, best practices, and words of wisdom from seasoned practitioners.
This is a program that will assist a broad spectrum of litigators to raise their level of practice.
Law Society of BC CPD Hours: 6 hours (this course will contain a minimum of 1 hour pertaining to professional responsibility and ethics, client care and relations, and/or practice management)
