Copyright © 2017 ii/ The Peel Watershed Case CIRL Occasional Paper #56 Canadian Institute of Resources Law The Canadian Institute of Resources Law was incorporated in 1979 as a registered charity with a mandate to examine the legal aspects of both renewable and non-renewable resources. Its work falls into three interrelated areas: research, education, and publication. The Institute has engaged in a wide variety of research projects, including studies on oil and gas, mining, forestry, water, electricity, the environment, aboriginal rights, surface rights, and the trade of Canada’s natural resources. The education function of the Institute is pursued by sponsoring conferences and short courses on particular topical aspects of resources law, and through teaching in the Faculty of Law at the University of Calgary. The major publication of the Institute is its ongoing looseleaf service, the Canada Energy Law Service, published in association with Carswell. The results of other Institute research are published as discussion papers. The Institute is supported by the Alberta Law Foundation, the Government of Canada, and the private sector. The members of the Board of Directors are appointed by the Faculty of Law at the University of Calgary and the President of the University of Calgary.

Son travail porte sur trois domaines étroitement reliés entre eux, soit la recherche, l’enseignement et les publications. L’institut a entrepris une vaste gamme de projets de recherche, notamment des études portant sur le pétrole et le gaz, l’exploitation des mines, l’exploitation forestière, les eaux, l’électricité, l’environnement, les droits des autochtones, les droits de surface et le commerce des ressources naturelles du Canada. L’institut remplit ses fonctions éducatives en commanditant des conférences et des cours de courte durée sur des sujets d’actualité particuliers en droit des ressources et par le truchement de l’enseignement à la Faculté de droit de l’Université de Calgary. La plus importante publication de l’institut est son service de publication continue à feuilles mobiles intitulé le Canada Energy Law Service, publié conjointement avec Carswell. L’institut publie les résultats d’autres recherches sous forme et de documents d’étude. L’institut reçoit des subventions de Fondation du droit de l’Alberta, du gouvernement du Canada et du secteur privé. Les membres du conseil d’administration sont nommés par la Faculté de droit de l’Université de Calgary et le recteur de l’Université de Calgary.

    ANNUAL REVIEW OF CIVIL LITIGATION 2019 THE HONOURABLE MR.JUSTICE TODD L. ARCHIBALD SUPERIOR COURT OF JUSTICE (ONTARIO) 30839744 Discovery as a Forum for Persuasive Advocacy: Art and Science of Persuasion Ð Chapter IX 1 TODD ARCHIBALD,ROGER B. CAMPBELL AND MITCHELL FOURNIE The flash and dash of the courtroom is exhilarating for the lawyer but dangerous for the client. Accordingly, the truly successful lawyer will take his cases there only seldom. When he does go, he will go highly prepared; and that high level of preparation will be made possible by the apparently dull, but fascinatingly powerful tool, of discovery. And when a lawyer has been successful in keeping his client out of a trial, it will most often have been the same tool, discovery, which will have helped him do it.1 I. DISCOVERY AS A FORUM FOR PERSUASIVE ADVOCACY The image of the persuasive litigator is often associated with trials. It is an image that evokes the courtroom scenario and the pressures that accompany it. Here, witnesses are tenaciously cross-examined, answers are carefully assessed, credibility is gauged, and lawyers make their opening and closing addresses in full view of the judge, jury, and public. It is an image that draws on the solemnity and magnitude of trial, where the potential for settlement has long passed and a verdict or judgment is the only potential outcome. It is from this situation, at the end of the litigation process, that our notions of persuasive advocacy are often derived. In this ninth installment of the Art and Science of Persuasion, we look at how persuasive advocacy can and must extend beyond the courtroom.
