Highly recommend this riveting and very personal interview with former Chief Justice of Ontario George Strathy on the @ACTLOfficial podcast. An important and thought-provoking conversation on mental health in the legal profession. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/tri…

Good luck to Sukhdeep Gill and Anasofia Heilbron as they launch into a hard-fought trial in Toronto this week. Special congrats to Anasofia on her first (of what is sure to be many) Superior Court hearings. Fingers crossed!

Congrats to Dan McConville on this important win. Advance costs orders (requiring payment of legal costs for the litigation in advance of a decision) are exceptionally rare in civil litigation. Dan was able to meet the challenge and establish it was the right result here.

A big high five to Richard Macklin @RMacklinlaw, Vilko Zbogar, Arlene Campbell and Reese Nemeth on completing the evidence on a marathon six-week trial in Toronto. Special kudos goes to Arlene and Reese on their first Superior Court trial!

Big congrats to Haya Sardar on arguing her first appeal at the Ontario Court of Appeal. Job well done Haya!

Very much looking forward to seeing the final proposals. This promises to be the biggest shift in how civil cases are handled in decades and, hopefully, will bring some much needed momentum to tackling the problems facing our court system. Love it or hate it, get ready!

Here is a good summary of the anticipated updates to the proposed changes to the Rules for civil cases, including maintaining the up-front evidence model, discoveries limited to 90 minutes (and on video) and a three-track model depending on case size. lawtimesnews.com/news/general/c…

An inspiring TAG Canada interview with legendary California trial lawyer Tom Mesereau by Mike Smitiuch @brantfordlawyer on trial tactics, authenticity and studying the craft. Great advice on growth and rejecting arrogance. And Tom gets bonus points for being a Neil Young fan. 🇨🇦

An incredible opportunity, especially for anyone arguing their first civil appeal.
