Join us for this practical and valuable lunch and learn about Affidavit Secrets.
Two experienced British Columbia litigators discuss what works and what to avoid. A smorgasbord of bad examples will be reviewed. Learn from what not to do. And learn some winning tips.
As author and veteran litigator, John Douglas Shields maintains, “Affidavits are a craft, requiring insight, experience and patience, peppered with limited artistic licence. Cases can be won on artful and careful drafting or lost on the shoals of an affidavit that should never have left the printer.”
To help fellow practitioners develop winning affidavits – and also “properly and ethically decimate the opponent’s case” – Shields has drafted this new volume, The Law of Affidavits, based on his decades of experience as a litigator and his meticulous research that included reviewing over a century of jurisprudence and approximately 5,000 cases.
