If you work in Small Claims Court, you know that recent changes expand the Court's monetary limits significantly, including appeal limit amounts. What impact do these changes have on how you deliver legal services to your clients? Our presenters address the considerations of this increase, including the potential for quicker access to justice and the possibility of more complex litigation being heard in this forum. Especially on point for licensees working in litigation and small business disputes, you hear about the changes from Deputy Judges of the Court, lawyers, and paralegals.

Don’t miss this timely and practical program that helps you stay ahead of the curve in a rapidly evolving legal landscape.
