Admin Law and Practice

Originally held on October 17-18, 2011 the online replay is scheduled for February 22-23, 2012 and comes complete with a link to downloadable materials.

The field of administrative law is complex and diverse, constantly evolving in many directions. It’s difficult to stay on top of the many important changes. But as an administrative law lawyer or tribunal counsel, or a lawyer advising the Crown in any public law capacity, you know you can’t give the best advice unless you are current on the latest developments.

Osgoode’s annual Administrative Law program has become an important touchstone for many who work in the public law arena. You will get expert advice and guidance from leading practitioners, adjudicators, judges and academics on such issues as: the latest pronouncements from the Supreme Court of Canada on the content of fairness; the role of expert witnesses in administrative proceedings, the unique role of the government lawyer, the duty to give reasons, discretionary remedies on judicial review, tribunal standing, and much more.

No matter how public and administrative law impacts your practice or your duties as a decision-maker, you won’t want to miss this opportunity to hear from the most distinguished gathering of experts in the field.
