DESCRIPTION
With ever-increasing trade and business across the U.S.-Canadian border, lawyers must keep abreast of cross-border legal issues in order to best serve their clients' needs and increase their own business development opportunities. Canada and the U.S. share a common legal system, and, while they are separate and distinct jurisdictions, the interface of the Canadian and U.S. economies provides nearly infinite opportunity. In light of this special and unique relationship, the theme of the Summit: 1 Legal System + 2 Jurisdictions = Infinite Opportunity
