Continuing Legal Education

Une pensée d’avance – Think Ahead 2012-2013

The Faculty of Law offers a new series of five three-hour lectures on themes rooted at the very heart of contemporary legal issues. This year’s series features five stimulating lectures focused on recent developments in Canadian courts and covering a wide range of topics.

The lectures, accredited by the Barreau and the Chambre des notaires du Québec, are offered in the evenings, 6 – 9 p.m., by professors and prominent graduates of the Faculty. Most of the lectures are bilingual, with parts in French and others in English.

Come broaden your legal knowledge, network with colleagues and meet your continuing legal education obligations by registering for one or several of the lectures in the "Une pensée d’avance – Think Ahead" series.

For other CLE activities at the Faculty, see our calendar of continuing legal education events.
