This panel will identify a number of popular and emerging legal arguments in various areas of the law, some of which are falling out of favour, in light of recent caselaw developments, others of which are coming into favour.  It will be a helpful guide to counsel to help identify some “old” arguments that may need to be re-evaluated where counsel should perhaps consider exercising greater care prior to making them, and some novel arguments that counsel should be aware of and consider incorporating into their cases as circumstances dictate. 

The professionalism topics that will be covered include:

  • Duties related to advocacy – not using court time making arguments that have no or negligible prospect of success (Applicable Rules: 3.1-1(a), 5.1-1)
  • Duty of competency – the need to be aware of key developments in the law that can can have a material impact on resolutely advancing your client’s case (Applicable Rules: 3.1-1(k), 3.2-1)
  • Client service – making effective use of resources by advancing all arguments that have a reasonable prospect of success and avoiding consuming time and fees on arguments that have no or negligible prospect of success (Applicable Rules: 3.1-1(d), (e))
