The rules of evidence are constantly evolving. To maintain a winning edge, it’s essential to remain current on the latest caselaw and best practices in locating, preserving and presenting evidence. Your next case may involve new or unfamiliar kinds of evidence (including evidence from quickly-developing electronic/online sources), or new rules, common-law principles and practices that represent significant departures from the past. Are you fully prepared?

Building on the success of six previous programs, Osgoode Professional Development’s Evidence Law for the Civil Litigator has been designed to provide you with a brisk, informative update on the latest developments and most pressing issues in civil evidence. Top practitioners and judges will discuss key issues that you can count on facing in your litigation practice.

Two judges’ panels will provide you with an opportunity to gain valuable insights from the Bench. See why these panels have developed a reputation for lively, thought-provoking exchanges with a practical focus.

Plus! If you’re new to civil litigation, or simply want a review of key evidentiary principles and doctrines, you can benefit from the optional half-day Pre-Conference Workshop (Fundamentals of Evidence: A Refresher) on October 6 from 1:00-4:00 p.m. This interactive session, led by the program chairs, will identify and explain a broad variety of critical evidentiary points – also enabling you to get the most over the next two days’ programming. Spaces in this workshop are expected go quickly, so reserve your spot now!
