Description

Ontario’s profession is “stuck” in the civil area Chief Justice Geoffrey Morawetz said on this episode of CL Talk, Canadian Lawyer’s podcast. He joined Attorney General Doug Downey to discuss why now is the moment for a sweeping rewrite of the province’s civil rules, how they hope to cut timelines in half, and what lawyers across the province should expect as the system shifts from traditional discovery to an upfront evidence model.
