Effective Use of International Law before Canadian Courts

Vue d'ensemble de la session

Limited international legal understanding on the part of Canadian lawyers and judges is no longer permissible in the globalized world in which we live. Legal practitioners must deftly manage and resolve these global and cross-border legal issues in the interests of their clients and Canadian society.

Speakers: The Hon. Louis Lebel, The Hon. Kathryn Neilson J.A., Gib van Ert, Gloria Chao, Micah Rankin, Monique Pongracic-Speier, Michael Brundrett, Deborah Strachan, and Greg DelBigio Q.C.
