The facts and documentary proof admitted into evidence will determine the outcome of your trial.

As litigators, we are all acutely aware of our role in seeking the admission of evidence into the court record or our obligation to object to it when warranted. In light of this reality it is essential to understand how, when and why to object. This course will provide you with an opportunity to learn about or get re-acquainted with this powerful tool and the rules of evidence that justify it. This course will deal with the main objections that all litigation lawyers should know and use. The course is divided into two parts:

Theory

• Objections - as to formulation of questions
• Objections - as to the legality of the questions - which naturally implies reviewing certain rules of evidence

Practical Advice

• How to foresee and prepare to argue an objection
• Anticipation and recognition of objectionable questions or answers
• Arguing the objection
• Rules of etiquette
• Strategic thinking and decision-making

This course is primarily in a lecture format, however active participation and lively exchanges will be encouraged given the limitation on number of registrants.

• Courses are available in English and French
