LESA’s Evidence Law Refresher seminar is coming soon, with sessions running in both Edmonton and Calgary. The seminar chair, Honourable Justice J.E.L Côté, emphasized the practical nature of the information that will be conveyed, saying that the topics covered are those that “really make a difference” and are “most likely to come up most often.”

This seminar is particularly relevant to those who practice in the area of litigation; it will review practical evidence problems, including principles, objections, techniques, and strategy.
When speaking with LESA, Justice Côté identified two main things that attendees will take away from the seminar:
1) Some things that were blurred and muddled in most people’s minds will be separated and clarified.
2) Interesting possibilities will open up in other areas.
With 10 different sessions and 8 fascinating speakers, this seminar addresses a diverse range of puzzling or vexing issues in evidence today. LESA asked Justice Côté to give a sneak preview about what he will be discussing in his presentation on “Hearsay Information in Affidavits.” He said this topic is “doubly mysterious” for two reasons:
1) The most important exception to hearsay rules is rarely taught in law schools.
2) There have been changes to the law of hearsay and legislation in recent years and no one is quite sure how those changes relate to that topic.
Join us to hear Justice Côté and his fellow speakers shed some light on this and other important evidence topics.
