OBA Civil Litigation / Young Lawyers Division PROGRAM | 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM (ET)

The circumstances of the past year 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 the civil litigation practice directions and to the 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 has transformed, and learn what changes may be “reasonably foreseeable” for civil matters in your region in the future!

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.
