OBA Class Actions and Young Lawyers Division PROGRAM | 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM (ET)

We are constantly reading headlines about new and unique class action cases being brought, especially during the pandemic era. Class actions law is a fascinating area and one that many law students, articling students and junior lawyers are keen to enter into. Join us for a fireside chat with The Honourable Edward Belobaba who has presided over many class actions cases, and two highly experienced class actions counsel, Luciana Brasil and Ranjan Agarwal, to hear about practicing in this area of the law. Our stellar faculty will discuss how this legal arena is evolving due to recent legislative changes, the realities of practicing in this area, interesting cases they have worked on, and what they envision for the future of class actions law. You will gain a unique perspective from the Bench and Bar, as well as through the lens of Plaintiff and Defence counsel, during this special event.
