The Advocates’ Society hosts Tricks of the Trade, its flagship annual program for the Ontario personal injury bar, on Friday, January 30, 2026, in Toronto. The event brings together leading litigators, judges, and legal professionals to address current challenges for both plaintiff and defence counsel. MEA Forensic is proud to support high-quality continuing education, and Ben Elkin, Thomas Flynn and Jahvanna Ryan will be on the exhibit floor throughout the day. They look forward to connecting with attendees.
The 2026 program is chaired by Lisa Belcourt of Ferguson Deacon Taws LLP, Brenda Hollingsworth of Auger Hollingsworth Professional Corporation, Sudevi Mukherjee-Gothi of Pallett Valo LLP, and Brian Sunohara of Rogers Partners LLP. Faculty from the Bench and Bar will share insights on recent decisions, timely advocacy tips, and the latest guidance on practice and procedure for personal injury litigators. If you’re attending and have questions about the role of a biomechanical expert in a wide range of injury cases, stop by our table; Ben, Tom and Jahvanna will be happy to talk.
