For the last four years or so I’ve been working on a variety of projects with faculty in Osgoode Hall Law School & Osgoode Professional Development (OPD) and in Ontario more generally, and with regulators across Canada. One project is the use of Sim Clients (SCs) in JD legal education, primary professional courses and CPD for lawyers.
Much of this work will be summarised in a workshop being held on Friday 29 April. The workshop is the third of three on the topic of SCs, the first two having been hosted at the City Law School, University of London (Gray’s Inns, London, 2016: see liveblog postings on this blog here & ff), and ANU College of Law (Canberra, 2017: see postings here & ff). It will be on Zoom, is hosted by Angela Yenssen and myself, and supported by OPD. The agenda is copied below (note that the timings are Eastern Daylight Time). You’ll hear not just from faculty using the method, but from SCs and from students as well. We also have a brief demo interview + feedback session, and a panel responding to questions about the method from participants. We’re aiming for a max of 50 or so participants and we’ll cap the numbers when around that figure.
If you want to join us, go to our workshop’s home page at https://simclient.osgoode.yorku.ca/ and click on the register link by Wed 27, 1700 EST (2200 BST). You will be asked for your email address, and on Thurs 28 you’ll be sent a Zoom link for the workshop.
I’ll be posting more about the event in the coming days.
