Fall Convention 2026: The Role of the Lawyer in a Time of Transformation

Conference Co-Chairs:
Cara Cameron, Woods s.e.n.c.r.l
Scott Croteau, ADR North Mediation Services
Cheryl M. Woodin, Bennett Jones LLP

Why get your CPD at Fall Convention? You already know that TAS delivers the best, most thoughtful CPD anywhere, and Fall Convention is the best of the best.

This is the conference where we can think the big thoughts, have the hard conversations, and learn practical tips from top advocates from across the country. It’s a rare and special thing to be able to have these kinds of conversations among friends, to take the time to really consider the things that are important to us as advocates. But that’s the magic of Fall Convention.

First time attending? The collegiality and discussions start from the departure lounge at the airport and don’t end until the luggage carousal on the way home.

Topics this year will include

  • Lightning Round of TAS interventions
  • Steps we can take to improve access to justice
  • Self-regulation and an independent Bar
  • Transformative cases
  • Challenges to the rule of law
And more…

We are delighted to announce that our keynote this year will be The Hon. Chief Justice Ronald A. Skolrood, Supreme Court of British Columbia.

Other speakers include:
Steven Aylward, Stockwoods LLP
Melissa Burkett, Cassels, Brock & Blackwell LLP
Brendan MacArthur-Stevens, Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP

Whether you are close to the start of your career, or a seasoned advocate, you will connect with colleagues of different stages and practice areas from across Canada.  We will update this page with more details about content and speakers.  Stay tuned!
