Training that never stops

Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador Education Seminar

Led by experienced judges and legal academics, this program used a combination of lectures, discussion, and interactive elements. Sessions included a "primer" on hearsay including a review of the traditional exceptions and the “principled approach” for admissibility; an interactive discussion on issues arising in domestic contracts; a session on estate litigation including how estate law intersects with family law; and practical sessions designed to increase judicial skills in managing jury trials and conducting bail review hearings. The program also included a presentation on the intersection of coercive control and human trafficking, in which participants heard from a survivor, a representative of law enforcement and academic faculty.
