It’s pretty easy to use CanLII to find cases using keyword search. But what do you do with them? Are there some cases that have more value than others? How does case law work in the “common law” system exactly? What is all that weird “code” that appears on the decisions? Let’s understand how to read cases together, and learn what “legal arguments” mean. Choose from one of the following tutorials below for a fixed fee. Sessions are held using Zoom.
Live one-on-one Tutorials ($120 per 1 hour session)
(1) How to Read a Judge’s decision. In this tutorial, we work through some examples of judge’s decisions so that you understand how to read case law.
(2) What is a Factum? This tutorial will show you what a factum is, using examples from real cases. I will also have tips for what makes a great factum
(3) What is a “Motion Record”? This tutorial will show you the different components of a civil motion record in detail.
(4) Out of court options to resolve a dispute. This tutorial will explain what negotiation, mediation and arbitration are.
(5) Why can’t I just tell my story to the Judge and Win? Heather will explain to you how the legal process works, and why it’s important not to assume that you can just use common sense and tell your story at court.
