Osgood Hall, Women Lawyers and Bar Assoc.
Join us for our Women's Bar Leader Summit, Strength Across Borders, as we present, in partnership with the Law Society of Upper Canada, an opportunity to network with your colleagues from the United States and Canada while sharing ideas and best practices for strengthening women's bar associations. Topics will include how women's bar associations can make a difference in combating sex trafficking, and how women do or do not support other women in the legal profession. We'll learn about the Law Society of Upper Canada's pilot project to retain and advance women lawyers in private practice. We'll have practical tips, including free or inexpensive tools for your association. We'll honor the winners of the 2011 Public Service and Outstanding Member Program Awards, and we'll hear from attendees about the challenges and best performances at Osgood Hall.
At our awards luncheon, we will be honoring the recipients of the 2011 Public Service Award: Central New York Chapter of the Women's Bar Association of the State of New York for their Domestic Violence Law Clinic and the Women Lawyers Association of Los Angeles' "Power Lunch Program." Recipients of the Outstanding Member Program Award are the Lawyers Club of San Diego's "Pipeline to Leadership" Securing Spots on Boards and Commissions," the Women's Bar Association of Massachusetts "Fee Circles" and the Women's Law Section of the Maine State Bar Association for their annual "Winter Break."
Presenters Anne Litwin, PhD, Deborah Epstein Henry, founder of FlexTime Lawyers, LLC, Lisa Borsook, Managing Partner, WeirFoulds LLP and Rear Admiral Nanette DeRenzi will share their thoughts on the topic of women supporting other women. Stories of senior women failing to support junior women, junior women undermining senior women, female in-house counsel failing to give business to women in firms. Our presenters will look at the issues and suggest ideas for programs and strategies that organizations can implement to assist women attorneys in more effectively supporting one another

...a hypothetical case in which the plaintiff claims wrongful termination and hostile work environment.
To me it sounded like some thing you hear on the Oprah Winfrey show- the organisers were Chicago based.
The audience observed excerpts from opening statements,direct,cross-examination,and closing arguments.
I did not stay around for the Q& A, nor the mock jury. I guess traveling was taking it toll on my attention.

5:15 am Flight from Winnipeg Cancelled
I knew I should of left the evening before- but thought that the 5:15 am flight out of YWG on Thursday,August 4th,2011 would give me ample time to arrive in Toronto at 8:25 am am make the first session at 10:00 am.
Silly me!! Delays and cancellations seem to be common this summer with AC , as opposed to their competitor, West Jet. Fortunately I was in good humour, and was placed on the next plane departing at 7:00 am and arriving at 10:30 am at the gate.
I made it to the Trail Practices and Tactics at 2:00 pm in the lowest basement level of the MTCC.-Section of Litigation.
