Beyond the Horizon: The Expanding and Overlapping Jurisdiction of Arbitrators & Tribunals

November 21 - 22, 2008
Fairmont Château Laurier Hotel, Ottawa, Ont.

Year after year, the CBA National Administrative Law and Labour and Employment Law CLE brings you an unparalleled roster of the top speakers from the Bench, Bar, and academia. Providing you with the tools you need to tackle present and future challenges, this year's conference focuses on the proliferation of tribunals and statutory decisionmakers.

Supreme Court of Canada judge The Hon. Mr Justice Marshall Rothstein is the keynote speaker, while The Hon. Madam Justice Margaret Larlee (New Brunswick Court of Appeal), The Hon. Mr Justice Pierre J. Dalphond (Quebec Court of Appeal), and The Hon. Madam Justice Gene Anne Smith (Saskatchewan Court of Appeal) compose the judges’ panel, with a promise of fascinating exchanges.

Get up-to-date on recent developments, including the Dunsmuir decision and the small revolution that it heralds. Listen to renowned experts, including author David Phillip Jones, Q.C., and labour and employment lawyer David Corry, commenting on the most important cases of the year and the way these developments will impact the law.

Hear prominent speakers from all over Canada, including The Hon. Michèle Rivet, Chair of Quebec Human Rights Tribunal; David Wright, Vice-Chair of the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal; and the University of New Brunswick’s Dean of Law Philip Bryden. Participate in a wide-ranging round-table discussion moderated by stimulating Montreal lawyer Julius Grey on the role of privacy in administrative and labour law, featuring Christiane Ouimet, recently-appointed Public Service Integrity Commissioner, and David Loukidelis, British Columbia Information and Privacy Commissioner.

The CBA National Administrative Law and Labour and Employment Law CLE is the premier event in Canada for lawyers and statutory decision-makers, promising the relevant and practical insights that you need in today’s world.
