OVERVIEW
Join colleagues from the bench and the bar for this two-day conference on maritime law. The program covers a range of procedural and substantive issues, including the intersection of maritime law with personal injury, environmental, and Aboriginal law.

Whether you are a judge dealing with urgent in rem motions during duty weeks or complex maritime issues at trial, or a lawyer litigating these matters before the Federal Courts or Superior Courts, this conference will help you navigate this unique and evolving area of Canadian law.
Bilingual program with simultaneous interpretation.
