CIAJ Roundtable — “The Balancing Act”
Location: Ottawa (ON), and online
Efficiency or fairness — two imperatives that collide at the heart of Canadian administrative tribunals.
For the first time, court judges, tribunal members, and professionals who have worked across both worlds will come together around the same table. A rare and unprecedented dialogue, designed to break down silos, challenge perspectives, and foster practices that neither courts nor tribunals could develop on their own.
A full day of discussion, exchange, and shared practices to explore what it truly means to deliver justice in a system under pressure.
