The Law and Mental Disorder Association (LAMDA) has arrived!!
Just starting our 5th year of life, we are incredibly honoured to co-host a fabulous and timely event together with Crown Law Office Criminal (CLOC), affectionately known among the defence bar as “720 Bay.”
On January 28, 2021, at 5:30 -7:30 pm, six Justices of the Court of Appeal for Ontario will be discussing Zoom Advocacy with more than 100 appellate criminal lawyers, evenly distributed among Crown and Defence.
The Justices who have kindly accepted our invitation and will attend to give us their wisdom and experience on the issue of advocacy in the age of Zoom in their Court are:
Associate Chief Justice Fairburn
Justice Simmons
Justice Pardu
Justice Juriansz
Justice Jamal
Justice Coroza
This virtual event is sold out. It is also free. It will be an evening to remember!
