EXPERT MEDICAL EVIDENCE & THE ART OF PERSUASION

Guest Speaker – The Honourable Mr. Justice Nathan Smith

The Honourable Mr. Justice Smith was appointed to the Supreme Court of British Columbia on May 19, 2005.  Prior to his appointment to the Bench, his legal practice focused on medical malpractice litigation.

Mr. Justice Smith has observed physician’s testify from both the Bench and Bar.  He will provide his views as to what is persuasive and what is not.  Please join us for this entertaining talk.  We will have an extended amount of time for questions so that members can take advantage of this opportunity to obtain insight from the Bench.

This year The Medical Legal Society of British Columbia is offering a series of dinner meetings focusing on expert evidence in the court process.  In addition to the talk presented by Mr. Justice Nathan Smith, topics for future dinners will, tentatively, include insight into strategies employed by counsel to cross-examine medical experts, how physicians should prepare to testify in court, and common causes of medical malpractice claims.  All of the topics will culminate in a mock trial held at the Annual General Meeting in the spring of 2016.

The tentative dates for meetings following the October date are as follows:

  •          November 19, 2015;
  •          February 4, 2016;
  •          March 3, 2016;
  •          April 28, 2016; and
  •          May 26, 2016 (Annual General Meeting)
