This is the livestream registration page for the Navigating Matters with Self-Represented Litigants program. We are also offering this program in Edmonton.

This program will cover challenging realities that lawyers face in matters involving parties who are unable or unwilling to hire a lawyer and will offer practical strategies for addressing those challenges. Panel discussions with sitting justices and practitioners from a variety of practice backgrounds will discuss their own past experiences and explore potential experiences that lawyers may face in these types of situations. Presentations will address ethical obligations for lawyers, ensuring that lawyers manage the costs for their own clients, navigating the line between advocating for a client and assisting the Court, and more.

Training by Michael Lomax (renowned lawyer, mediator, and conflict resolution trainer) will help attendees understand the psychology of conflict and develop strategies for dealing with high conflict individuals.
