Only Two Weeks Until Our February 23rd LAMDA / CLA Annual Conference!

Dear Colleagues,

For those of you who were with us last year, there is even better news this year.

For those of you who were not with us last year, there is just plain great news x 3!

– 2019 Mental Health Conference pricing was decreased this year for CLA and LAMDA members (thanks to success of event in 2018)
– There is a live webcast and in person option
– In person option will have more food this year (thanks to sponsors) including citrus crepe breakfast and lunch salads, sandwiches and wraps.

Go to https://www.criminallawyers.ca/events/4th-annual-mental-disorder-and-criminal-justice-conference/

Checking out the Agenda you will see that several of our old friends, Justices of our Courts whom we knew well when they were colleagues in our bar, are returning to teach us as expert Judiciary now in the mental disorder area.

And we will hear from our keynote speaker, Andy Bouvier, who is a member of the ORB, father of the victim of the accused in the John Kastner documentary film “NCR” and has endless empathy for the clients in very interesting and unique ways.

These are just a couple of highlights among 30+ speakers and valuable insights.

It is going to be a fun-filled informative and entertaining day.

Join us!

Anita
