- The Basics of a Civil Action
On Tuesday, April 13, 2010, the Ontario Bar Association’s Civil Litigation Section will host a Law Day event for high school students in grades 9 and 10 to commemorate Law Week and the 28th anniversary of the signing of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. We invite civics teachers and students in the Toronto area to come to the Ontario Bar Association Conference Centre (in downtown Toronto) for a day of educational and fun activities focusing on civil rights and civil litigation.
The students will be presented with a Facebook and illegal substance related hypothetical fact scenario followed by group activities, discussion and debate. The program will conclude with a trivia game for prizes in which students will be expected to demonstrate their knowledge of civil litigation and the justice system.
You can choose to take part in a morning session taking place from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. or an afternoon session taking place from 12:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.; please plan to be there 15 minutes early. Lawyers who practice civil litigation will be on hand to run the events and speak to students as well. Snacks and drinks will be provided to all students along with Law Day t-shirts and other materials.
The event will take place at the Ontario Bar Association offices at 20 Toronto Street, Toronto, located 2 blocks from the King Street Subway station. Those not able to take part in Toronto can register to receive a free teacher module by completing the form at the online link below.
