Debra Curcio Lister speaks at Legal Education Society of Alberta (LESA) seminar on Civil Litigation Strategies on November 25, 2025.
Developing a strong civil litigation practice takes an understanding of civil procedure and the Rules of Court, competence in advocacy, and an intentionality in employing appropriate litigation strategies. As lawyers strive for excellence in the courtroom and in pre-trial processes, they not only build their own confidence and grow their practice, they also establish a reputation among colleagues, opposing counsel, the Bench, and prospective clients. This program will support lawyers in navigating civil litigation matters and will cover topics including:
- Pleadings
- Chambers Advocacy
- Less Frequently Used Rules of Court
- Strategic Questioning and Use of Answers
- Strategic Issues in Major File Litigation
- Overcoming Litigation Delay
- ADR Considerations
