    Hearsay: Admissible or Inadmissible?

    Part II: A Master Class in Evidence with Professor Rollie Thompson

    Wednesday, February 22, 2023 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

    Evidence law matters in family cases. It’s part of effective advocacy. But “the hearsay rule” isn’t always easy to master. What is “hearsay”? Is there a hearsay exception? What about the “principled approach”? Should I object? Professor Rollie Thompson will take you all the way from the basics to the latest developments in hearsay law. As usual, there will be skill-testing questions for you, and answers. Don’t miss this program!

    Chair: The Honourable Justice Carole Curtis, Ontario Court of Justice, Toronto

    Speaker: Professor Rollie Thompson, KC, Schulich School of Law at Dalhousie University

    Project Managers: Aron David and Wendy Yee
