Upcoming Case Law Programs
Each session below covers a specific area of case law — not a broad survey, but a focused look at how courts have reasoned through particular problems. If you want to understand the logic behind decisions rather than just the outcomes, these are worth your time.
Open for Registration
Seats are limited per session — registration closes once capacity is reached.
Case Law Analysis: Reading Judicial Decisions Without Getting Lost
A ground-level course on how courts reason, how to find the ratio, and why two judges can read the same facts and reach different conclusions.
Advanced Case Law Analysis for Practicing Lawyers
A skills-focused program on building stronger legal arguments from judicial decisions, aimed at junior and mid-level practitioners who want more precision in their written and oral advocacy.
Finding and Using Case Law: Research Methods That Actually Work
A practical course on legal research tools, search strategy, and how to evaluate whether a case is still good law before you cite it in a document.
Case Law Analysis Intensive: Two Days, One Skill
A concentrated weekend workshop covering case reading, ratio extraction, and analytical writing for people who need results without a multi-week commitment.
What makes these sessions different
Most legal education covers doctrine. These programs work through the decisions themselves — the factual background, the arguments that were made, and how the court reasoned its way to a conclusion. It takes longer, but you come away with something that actually holds up in practice.
Reasoning over summary
You read what the judge actually wrote, not a third-party paraphrase. The distinctions that matter in practice only appear in the original text.
Discussion format
Each session is built around questions, not lecture slides. Participants work through interpretive problems together, which surfaces disagreements you'd miss reading alone.
Accessible from anywhere in Canada
Sessions are delivered online. Participants from British Columbia to Nova Scotia attend the same session — regional variation in case law application gets covered explicitly when relevant.
Programs for different entry points
Some programs assume no prior exposure; others pick up where foundational courses leave off. Each listing specifies clearly what background is expected before you register.
