CBA-NS is pleased to announce the 2025 iteration of our annual Criminal Litigation Symposium: Mastering the Art of Criminal Litigation. This year, the conference will focus on criminal litigation in the Nova Scotia Provincial Court system and will equip practitioners with effective trial techniques and advocacy strategies. This conference is intended for criminal litigators at any stage of career, with sessions on cross and direct examinations, the psychology of criminal law practice, and insights from the Provincial Bench. A short networking reception will follow the conference.

The event brings together legal professionals from across the province – Francophones and Francophiles, alike – to share insights, and build lasting connections across linguistic and cultural divides. We strongly encourage not only those who are fluent in French but those who have an interest and would like to become more comfortable speaking and understanding French to please attend.
