    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: The Use of Statements in Direct and Cross-Examination

    Recorded: 8 October 2021, 65 minutes

    Almost every litigation case involves the use of statements to examine and cross-examine a witness. But there are a myriad of technical rules governing the use of such statements. In this interactive seminar, Professor Sankoff delves into the use of statements, and how they must be tendered to refresh memory, impeach a witness or be advanced for a substantive purpose. What is counsel’s role? When are statements tendered as an exhibit, and when do they have to be turned over to your adversary?

    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”.

    Recorded Seminar: Challenging a Search Warrant/ITO: Tips for a Better Charter Application by Fady Mansour

In this seminar, you are given a systematic approach to reviewing a search warrant, and plenty of tips regarding what to look for. Get prepared to give your client the best chance possible in these types of cases.

In this seminar, you’ll learn: (a) how the “rule” works; (b) why Professor Sankoff hates it so much; (c) how to ensure you comply with the basics; and, most importantly, (d) how to respond when someone claims you’ve breached the rule.
