Recorded Seminar: Litigation Privilege: A Primer
Recorded: 26 November 2021, 62 minutes
One of the most important evidentiary rules for civil litigators, litigation privilege is also one of the most misunderstood. Frequently contested, but vital to the conduct of litigation, it is essential to know the basics of this privilege. In this interactive seminar, Professor Sankoff examines the law on litigation privilege by examining a host of scenarios that pose difficulty for the courts. Attendees emerge with a much better understanding of how to ensure that evidence created for the purposes of litigation remained privileged – and how to attack claims of this sort made by an adversary.

Recorded Seminar: Race and the Law of Evidence [Professor David Tanovich]
Recorded: 12 November 2021, 72 minutes
How does a person’s race impact the law of evidence? Professor David Tanovich has spent much of his career exploring this question, and believes that many defence lawyers miss the chance to object to evidence that has prejudicial qualities in cases with a defendant from a racial minority or Indigenous background. In this important seminar, he explores the way race impacts the law of evidence and discusses strategies for lawyers to use in objecting to evidence with these components.

Recorded Seminar: Peter Sankoff, Going Deep on the Residual Exception to the Hearsay Rule
Recorded: 13 August 2021, 83 minutes
In a 2020 seminar, Professor Sankoff addressed the exceptions to the hearsay rule in one fell swoop. That was a mistake! The residual or principled exception to the rule is, by far, the most complex part of the rule and includes a host of peculiarities that guide its application. In this one hour seminar, Professor Sankoff navigates all the pitfalls that can arise here, and delves deeply into what makes a piece of hearsay “reliable” and “necessary”.
