Many counsel may only get to the Supreme Court of Canada once or twice in their entire career, if at all. Developing experience in SCC practice and procedure is therefore difficult. The Rules and procedures before the SCC are quite different than those of provincial trial and appellate courts. The assistance of an experienced Supreme Court agent can make your case before the Court easier and less stressful. This webinar will cover the basics on how to seek (or oppose) leave to appeal, how to apply for intervener status in a pending appeal, the recent changes to the Supreme Court Rules and how to maximize the likelihood of success in your next case before the Court.
