Case Law Masterclasses

Passive active legal learning

Domain is a national platform for case law masterclasses. We cover landmark decisions, procedural mechanics, and litigation strategy through structured, instructor-led sessions — accessible from anywhere in Canada.

Aldric Vautrin, Lead Instructor in Constitutional Law

Aldric Vautrin

Lead Instructor — Constitutional Law

Aldric spent 16 years in appellate practice before shifting to instruction. His sessions focus on how constitutional arguments are constructed from fragmented precedents — a skill that textbooks rarely address directly. He dissects decisions from the Supreme Court of Canada with a pace that matches how legal professionals actually read case law, not how students are taught to.

His module on Charter s.7 interpretation runs across four sessions and traces a single legal thread through eight decisions spanning three decades.

Osei Kankam, Senior Instructor in Tort and Civil Litigation

Osei Kankam

Senior Instructor — Tort & Civil Litigation

Osei's background is in civil litigation, where he handled mid-size personal injury and negligence files for over a decade. He joined Domain to build out the tort analysis stream, which covers duty of care frameworks, contributory negligence, and how courts weigh expert evidence.

His sessions are known for being dense with real procedural detail. He often walks through the reasoning a judge explicitly rejected before explaining why the winning argument landed — a method that sharpens analytical instincts faster than reading summaries.

cases analyzed across all programs

Every session opens with the procedural history of a case before any analysis begins. Participants see what was decided at each level and why, before the instructor starts working through the reasoning. This matters because the outcome of a case often depends on something that happened at the trial level — a pleading, an evidentiary ruling, a concession — that never makes it into the headnote.

Sessions are recorded and include written case summaries with annotated excerpts, so participants can follow along with the actual text rather than a paraphrase. Annotation points to specific paragraphs where the court's reasoning shifts or where dissents challenge the majority in ways that later became relevant.

  • Each session covers one case or one doctrinal thread in detail — not a survey of 12 decisions in 45 minutes
  • Instructors explain the arguments that failed, not just the ones the court accepted
  • Program tracks are organized by practice area, so participants build a connected body of case knowledge
  • Sessions are self-paced with optional live Q&A periods scheduled monthly

Geographic access without diluted content

Domain was built to work for legal professionals across Canada — not just those in major urban centres with access to in-person seminars. That shaped every content decision: sessions are dense because participants are already professionals. There is no introductory padding, no assumed unfamiliarity with legal terminology. A junior associate in Fredericton gets the same session depth as a senior partner in Toronto.
