as Ethics
Conducting Efficient Litigation within the New QB Rules
This unique and important opportunity has been spearheaded by The Honourable Chief Justice M.D.
Popescul who has the following comments:
“A critical component of the 'Access to Justice' solution is to teach lawyers how to
conduct litigation efficiently so that they can obtain an acceptable result for their
client when the other side is unreasonable, unwilling to settle or where one's legal case
is so good that one ought not compromise. This seminar will focus on practical tips
from experienced counsel and judges and will include guidance on how the “new”
Rules of Court can be used to advantage.”
We are delighted to be welcoming an esteemed and
accomplished faculty to guide us through this
comprehensive course on Family Law and Civil
Litigation files from the moment they are opened to
trial. The common theme of designing and organising
your own unique system in order to be more efficient
and innovative will carry through each section as we
move through the Beginning, Middle and End of the life
of the file.
We will begin at the beginning as our Faculty discuss,
among other things, managing client expectations,
partial representation, and mediation. We will then
move to the mid-life of a file as our panel share their
experience and expertise on issues such as dedicated
case management judges, applications to strike, and
when interim applications are necessary. Finally we will
move to a discussion of summary trials, document
books, and the running of an efficient trial.
Don't miss out on this vital day of CPD programming for
all litigators!
