OBA Young Lawyers Division / Civil Litigation PROGRAM  | Original Program Date: June 2, 2022

The circumstances of the past two years have forced the justice sector to evolve rapidly. Looking ahead, many of these changes will be here to stay. Join us for a review of the key changes made to practice directions and to court processes generally in different regions across Ontario. Hear from local counsel on how these changes have impacted interaction with the courts on a day-to-day basis. You will gain valuable insight on how the practice of civil litigation continues to transform and learn about current best practices and potential changes that may be forthcoming in your region!

For more information about new Notices to the Profession, Regional Practice Directions, and all the latest information from the Courts and MAG including real-time updates about courthouse COVID-19 cases, please visit the OBA Courts Reopening page.
