SUMMARY:Hybrid Seminar - Estate Planning: Issues New and Old (CPD 361)
DESCRIPTION:Qualifies for 5.0 CPD hours and 1.5 Ethics hours. \nJoin us on June 6th in Saskatoon at TCU Place for this seminar addressing both common and complex or evolving estate planning issues. \nRegistration includes course materials\, refreshments and lunch. \nThis seminar also has a Livestream option. Please indicate In Person or Livestream when completing your attendee information. \nEstate Planning for Blended Families\nDarlene Wingerak. Robertson Stromberg LLP\, Saskatoon.\nSean Sinclair. Robertson Stromberg LLP\, Saskatoon. \nThe number of blended families is steadily growing\, with one in 10 Canadian children living in a stepfamily according to the 2016 Census. Estate planning for step and blended families is complex and sensitive issues are the norm. Among the many issues that may arise\, there may be age differences and wealth disparities\, child support arrangements and debts from prior relationships\, and differing views on money management\, fairness\, and moral obligations. Spouses’ interests may not be aligned\, and emotions may be heightened. It’s never simple\, but there are tools and strategies that may be used. Join Darlene Wingerak and Sean Sinclair for a review of some of these planning tools\, including mutual wills\, prenuptial agreements\, beneficiary designations\, trusts and others. \nWhy Estate Planning Matters for the LGBTQ2S+ Community\nBarton Soroka. Gerrand Rath Johnson LLP\, Regina.\nCheryl Loadman. Saskatoon Services for Seniors\, Saskatoon. \nEstate planning is essential for everyone\, but the absence of adequate planning can be especially significant for members of the LGBTQ2S+ community. Name and gender identification\, legal recognition of spousal relationships\, and provision for children are just some of the legal issues that an estate practitioner needs to consider. However\, adequately serving diverse populations requires more than just understanding legal issues. In this session\, we’ll learn about the legal issues and about the barriers that LGBTQ2S+ individuals may face in seeking out legal advice and steps you can take to create a safe environment for clients to speak about their backgrounds\, lived experiences\, and concerns. \nEstate Donations: Seven Years Later\nMalcolm Burrows. Scotia Wealth Management\, Toronto ON. \nThe “estate donations” rules accompanied the 2016 introduction of the Graduated Rate Estate (GRE) regime. These Income Tax Act provisions altered the administrative and tax treatment of gifts by will\, as well as direct designation gifts of life insurance\, RRSP/RRIFs\, and TFSAs. How are charities and executors managing with these rules seven years later? \nCommon (and Uncommon) Issues in Estate Planning (Panel)\nHannah Zip. Scotia Wealth Management\, Saskatoon.\nShoshanna Paul. TDS Law\, Saskatoon.\nTyler Wake. Lakefield LLP\, Saskatoon.\nLane Zabolotney. Cuelenaere LLP\, Saskatoon. \nA multitude of issues can arise in estate planning. In this session\, panelists will draw from their experiences across a range of issues: \n\nExecutor and trustee remunerations\nRole of a professional executor\nReferring an estate matter to a trust company\nEstate planning and the Indian Act\nThe litigator’s point of view

SUMMARY:Virtual Seminar: YOUR Legal Practice - Skills to Thrive (CPD 360)
DESCRIPTION:Qualifies for 3.0 CPD Hours and 2.0 Ethics Hours. \nIn these three sessions\, you’ll learn simple and effective tools and skills to improve your legal practice and reduce stress for yourself and your clients. \nNavigating Challenging Client Relationships (Panel)\nModerator: Ronni Nordal\, K.C.\nApril Derksen\, MSW (Pending)\, BSW\, RSW. Oaks Mental Health\, Saskatoon.\nChantelle Johnson. CLASSIC\, Saskatoon. \nDavida Bentham. PBLS\, Regina. \nClients entrust lawyers with some of the most consequential issues in their lives. Building trust and rapport between the lawyer and client is essential to finding solutions\, but building these necessary components of the lawyer-client relationship can be challenging. Every client has perspectives\, emotions\, and lived experiences that affect lawyer-client interactions. Some have psychological challenges\, past trauma\, or mental illness\, which further complicate relationship building. In this session\, our panel of lawyers and social workers will draw from their experience and expertise to provide practical advice around: \n\n-Understanding and interpreting client behavior\n-Identifying trauma and mental health issues\n-Practical ways to respond with compassion\n-Distinguishing challenging client relationships from difficult client relationships\n-Establishing boundaries\n-Referral resources for legal and non-legal issues\n\nClient Screening Processes: An Example\nBeau Atkins. Evolve Law\, Saskatoon. \nYour first interactions with a client can set the tone for the entirety of the relationship\, so it is important that they start off right. A simple and clear client screening process is a benefit to your clients\, but also allows you to determine whether the client is a good fit for you and your practice. In this session\, Beau Atkins and his onboarding team will demonstrate\, in real-time\, how potential clients are guided through Evolve Law’s client screening process. \nLawyer Well-being: Tools to Thrive\nAlanna Carlson. Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission\, Saskatoon. \nThe most important part of your practice is YOU. Your personal well-being is key to a flourishing career in law. In this presentation\, Alanna Carlson will share her story of recovery from chronic illness\, explore barriers to health and success in practice (hello perfectionists!) and provide practical tools\, skills\, and resources that you can use to reduce stress and build well-being. No yoga or meditation required! \nThe virtual seminar will begin at 9:00 a.m. and end at 12:20 p.m.

SUMMARY:REPLAY - Barriers to Accessing Justice for Two Spirit\, Trans\, Non-Binary and Gender Nonconforming People in Canada
DESCRIPTION:Qualifies for 1.5 CPD hours\, all of which qualify for Ethics. \nThis is a replay of the Oct 26th presentation for Access to Justice Week: This talk presents the results of an Access-to-Justice legal needs assessment of Two Spirit\, trans\, non-binary and gender nonconforming (2STNBGN) people conducted by JusticeTrans across the lands colonially known as Canada.

To close\, we will examine participants’ visions of a more just future\, which evoke both immediate reform and education work\, as well as long-term structural changes including the abolition of police and prisons\, and the decolonization of the legal system. \nPresenters: Cat Haines\, Executive Director\, Justice Trans. Tai Jacob\, former Executive Director\, Justice Trans.

SUMMARY:Webinar - Making Parenting Plans: Helping Lawyers to Facilitate Resolution of Parenting Disputes (CPD 343)
DESCRIPTION:Qualifies for 1.0 CPD hour. \nThe Divorce Act amendments (Bill C-78) and Saskatchewan Children’s Law Act 2020\, reforms that came into effect in March 2021\, include provisions to encourage parents to make parenting plans (or agreements) that govern parenting time\, parental decision-making and other issues related to children. These plans may include aspirational statements about the parents’ expectations for themselves and their children. These plans\, or parts of them\, may be incorporated into court orders. Parenting plans are generally expected to evolve as children grow older and the circumstances of the children and their parents change\, giving rise to questions about how much detail to include in a parenting plan\, or the portion included in a court order. \nThis program will survey the child development literature\, legal principles\, and practical considerations that lawyers need to consider in making parenting plans\, including issues related to scheduling and parental decision-making\, as well as offering advice about negotiating plans in higher conflict cases. It will include reference to the Parenting Plan Guide and Template prepared by the Ontario Chapter of the Association of Family & Conciliation Courts (AFCC-O) and materials prepared the Department of Justice that can assist lawyers\, judges and parents in making parent plans\, as well providing templates for terms that may be included. \nPresenters: Nicholas Bala and Rachel Birnbaum

SUMMARY:Free Workshop - Code of Conduct Amendments: Direct Supervision Requirements (CPD 347)
DESCRIPTION:Qualifies for 2.0 CPD hours\, all of which qualify for Ethics \nThe Law Society of Saskatchewan is implementing recommendations from the final report of the Legal Services Task Team. Recommendation No. 4 identified direct supervision requirements as an area to examine more closely in order to increase access to legal services. The Code of Conduct provides guidance to lawyers providing direct supervision. Since December of 2021\, the Law Society has been engaged in outreach and consultation on proposed amendments to direct supervision requirements in the Code of Conduct. This involved many stakeholders\, including focus group discussions with 133 participants and an online survey completed by 324 individuals – 189 lawyers and 135 paraprofessionals. \nAs a result of these consultations\, the Code of Conduct has been amended to allow greater flexibility for staff working under the supervision of a lawyer to provide delegated legal services. Importantly\, lawyers maintain responsibility for all delegation at their discretion – it is not mandatory but rather possible to expand delegation in appropriate instances where the knowledge\, skills\, and experience of staff so permit. \nObjectives \nJoin this workshop to learn: \n\n-the new regulatory framework and practice for direct supervision;\n-how direct supervision provides the opportunity to increase access to legal services;\n-the business case for effective use of direct supervision;\n-lessons from insurance claims regarding direct supervision\, managing client expectations and interacting with clients and other legal professionals via direct supervision; and\n-good practices and dealing with challenges that can arise in direct supervision.\n\nPresenters will include the Law Society’s Director of Regulation\, Saskatchewan Lawyers’ Insurance Association\, and practitioners.
