OBA Aboriginal LAW PROGRAM | Original Program Date: February 8, 2018

Law concerning the rights of Indigenous peoples continues to evolve rapidly. This thought-provoking program will begin a discussion of what the term “deconstructing the current colonial legal structure or legal regime” could mean and may require in terms of current policy, practice and legislation. We will consider these issues in light of the Courts’ continuous exhortation that meaningful reconciliation is best achieved outside of the adversarial court process.

Also, to better appreciate the implications for your practice, attend to hear leading lawyers identify and describe key decisions from the past year, as well as provide insight into how these decisions have shaped the law and affected the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples.

In addition to gaining insights from the speakers, you will have meaningful opportunities to join this timely discussion yourself - register now.
