Lerners LLP Releases the Third Edition of Examinations, an Appellate Review and Forecast for 2022

Throughout the year, we witnessed a number of civil decisions released by the appellate courts in this country that grappled with deeply systemic issues, many of which are to be re-visited by our highest court. We also saw many meaningful changes in appellate practice, procedure and personnel, perhaps most significant of which was the retirement of the Honourable Rosalie Silberman Abella, the first Jewish woman appointed to the Supreme Court of Canada (“SCC”), and the subsequent appointment of the Honourable Justice Mahmud Jamal, the first racialized person to sit on the bench.

In an effort to explore the decisions and developments over the year that was, and contemplate what might lie ahead in the year that will be, the Lerners Appellate Advocacy Group is proud to announce the release of the third edition of Examinations, our annual review of the state of appellate law.
