Before hybrid work and remote courtrooms, new lawyers would gather around seasoned litigators in courthouse hallways, lawyers’ lounges, robing rooms, and dining rooms to listen to stories of litigation trials and triumphs. These informal yet vital learning moments about law and legal life are at risk of being lost in a (mostly) remote world. Until now…

The OBA and LSO are bringing you this opportunity to learn valuable lessons from the experiences of today’s litigation legends on how they overcome the challenges of litigating today.

Join us at Osgoode’s historic Convocation Hall to hear candid (and often funny) perspectives from some of the profession’s leading lights, and gain insight into how their approaches can help you in your career.

• Learn how to switch strategies in late-stage case preparation (or on your feet after opening is done)
• Hear what you can do when the judge is not on your side - and how to turn things around
• Understand how to recover and learn from your defeats
• Get advice on dealing with challenging opposing counsel or clients
• Understand the unique challenges of bias and how to counteract it
• Take note how to recover your momentum when technology falters

Don’t miss the Reception following the program to mingle with your fellow attendees and keep the learning going.
