“What will I gain from joining
the STLA?”
An STLA membership provides
you with many valuable benefits. Take a look at just some of them:
- Legal Education - Conferences & Teleseminars
- STLA has become known for staging conferences and telephone seminars of
the highest caliber. Our members get the opportunity to hear from local
and national experts on a variety of topics. Some recent presenters have
included Mr. Edward Greenspan, Q.C., Mr. John Rosen and Justice Bastarache
of the Supreme Court of Canada. Our presenters have shared their insights
on all aspects of litigation: from pleadings to closing arguments and everything
in between and beyond, including appellate advocacy. STLA is a pre-approved
CDP provider and our programs are ascribed credit hours by the Law Society
of Saskatchewan. Upcoming programs are listed under our Events tab.
- The Saskatchewan Advocate
- Our quarterly publication addresses new case law and trends in the law,
practice tips and topics of general interest to all litigation lawyers.
The publication includes articles by authors in our own ranks and others
including members of the bench, law professors, accountants, engineers,
and health care professionals.
- Legal Connections
- Our members include some of the Province’s most respected litigation
lawyers. Networking with other STLA members provides an excellent opportunity
to gain insight and advice on legal issues.
- The STLA “Mentor Program” was established to provide
our members with a confidential forum to seek guidance and assistance from
some of our more experienced members. This program is aimed at insuring
that the public continues to receive quality legal services and to support
and encourage STLA lawyer members. It is operated through the STLA office
of the Executive Director during regular business hours.
- Expert Witness Database
- You can save time by accessing the Association’s online expert witness
database 24 hours a day through www.stla.ca or contact the office directly
with your request during regular business hours. You can also share your
knowledge of expert witnesses by making recommendations for additions to
the database.
- STLA Membership On-Line Database and Printed Directory
- The STLA Membership Directory contains alphabetical and geographical listings
of all members along with other important legal information. You can also
access a member’s contact information though our password protected
“member’s only” section of our website.
- STLA Judicial Court Liaison Committee
- Committee members meet with representatives of the Saskatchewan Court
of Appeal, Court of Queen’s Bench and Provincial Court on a regular
basis; to identify and deal with concerns of the members of the Judiciary
and of the Bar. The mandate of this Committee is to identify solutions or
initiatives for improvement of court administration and procedure; and to
maintain positive relations between the Bench and the Bar.
- STLA Law Reform Committee
- Proposed changes to legislation in Saskatchewan are reviewed and scrutinized
by this committee. Recommendations will be made to the Board of Governors
on the position to take in response to any proposed legislative change with
briefs being presented to the Governments in support or opposition of proposed
changes.
- STLA Email Listserv
- Our general listserv provides a forum for our members, comprised of new
litigators and seasoned trial masters, to exchange information, to help
one another on topics such as expert witnesses, trial tips, settlement strategies,
to make referrals and more. With the touch of your fingertips your email
message will be automatically sent to every member on the list.
