Ontario's civil justice reforms aim to improve speed, affordability and access to justice. For practitioners across the province, that raises immediate questions. Will the three track system really move cases faster. How will revised approaches to discoveries, affidavit evidence and juries affect your ability to build a compelling record. What will this look like for clients in different regions and practice areas.

In this Canadian Lawyer webinar, Justice Graeme Mew joins Warren WhiteKnight and Kevin Cooke to share candid views from the courtroom and from both sides of the bar. They will explore not only what is changing, but also how those changes may play out for plaintiffs, defendants and institutional clients.

You will gain:

A practical understanding of how the three track system is intended to support more proportionate, efficient litigation
Insight into how potential changes to discoveries and affidavit evidence could reshape preparation and presentation of your cases
Discussion of the evolving role of civil juries, and how that may influence trial strategy and valuation
Perspectives on regional and practice specific impacts, and on further legislative shifts that could strengthen access to justice

Reserve your place now to hear directly from the bench and experienced counsel, and position yourself as a trusted advisor on Ontario's evolving civil justice landscape.
