During litigation, persons with disabilities may require a litigation guardian, or if no litigation guardian is available, the Office of the Public Guardian and Trustee (PGT) may become involved. When advocating for persons with disabilities, litigators need to be aware of when a guardian is required, and how to make that judgment call while maintaining confidence in their relationship with clients.
Date: January 28, 2025 6:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. EST via Zoom
This free webinar is eligible for 1.0 hour of Substantive CPD Credit with the Law Society of Ontario.
