Please read my disclaimer placed at the end of this document stating that this is legal information only, not legal advice and, because the law can change so rapidly, is provided as is, without any warranty of any kind and at the sole risk of the user. Lloyd Duhaime, Victoria, BC, September 1999.

Ed. note: Many if not most of Canada's labour relations boards have invested their precedents with QuickLaw, a Kingston-based, privately-held, for-profit legal publisher. Access to QuickLaw precedents is complex and expensive.

The Art Of Trial: Private and Confidential!

Mon, 08 Sep 2008 23:34:00 -0700

Trial, for the layperson (read "non-lawyer") is a source of tremendous stress and nervousness. You rarely see standing-room only line-ups at the public galleries of the Courthouse. But for lawyers, they are masochistic labours of love; a chunk of time where the stress is through the roof but so, too, is the intensity.

Mon, 07 Apr 2008 20:07:00 -0700

Unless otherwise noted, this article was written by Lloyd Duhaime, Barrister, Solicitor, Attorney and Lawyer (and Notary Public!). It is not intended to be legal advice and you would be foolhardy to rely on it in respect to any specific situation you or an acquaintance may be facing. In addition, the law changes rapidly and sometimes with little notice so from time to time, an article may not be up to date. Therefore, this is merely legal information designed to educate the reader. If you have a real situation, this information will serve as a good springboard to get legal advice from a lawyer.
