16th National Symposium on Search and Seizure Law in Canada

Faculty

A clear understanding of the law of search and seizure remains a cornerstone of criminal law investigation and litigation. All those involved in the criminal justice process continue to grapple with many new and challenging issues, including those now presented by the intersection between privacy, emerging new technologies and the Charter.

In this 2018 one day intensive program you will get practical information and tactics you can use from prominent experts on key topics including:

• Stingrays: technical and legal issues arising from IMSI catchers and cell tower Imitators
• Child exploitation offences: investigative issues and meeting the special challenges
• General Warrants; risks, rewards and limits for innovative investigative techniques
• Part V1 Criminal Code and novel communication technologies; R. v. Jones, R. v Marakah, encryption and more
• Integrating Section 24(2) into Section 8 strategies
• Sealing Orders: How to get them? How to get rid of them?
