The Honourable Justice David BrownCourt of Appeal for Ontario
The pandemic impacted all aspects of Canadian life in significant ways, including our justice system. Our presenters discuss what happened, the changes that they made in their courtrooms and in their law offices, and they propose what lessons we should carry forward from this seminal time. Join us to hear about the lessons we can learn from how our systems adapted (or didn’t) to create meaningful change as we envision the next chapter for justice, advocacy, and the Canadian legal system.
- Find out what successful changes were made and why they worked
- Consider the steps taken by the Courts to adapt and what changes will stay as we move forward
- Hear about critical socio-political issues that affected legal rights and privileges during this time
- Dialogue about the positive (and negative) impacts of AI on the justice system’s ongoing evolution
