OVERVIEW
Clear, accessible, and well-reasoned decisions are essential to the credibility and effectiveness of administrative tribunals. This hands-on training is a must for tribunal members who want to strengthen one of their most important skills: decision writing. Learn how to write decisions that are concise, precise, and easy to understand—focusing on yout audience.
This practical approach has gained momentum across Canada, with both administrative decision-makers and the judiciary adopting techniques that prioritize clarity and reader-focused communication. Whether you’re new to the role or looking to refine your style, this session will help you write with confidence, clarity, and impact. Don’t miss this opportunity to elevate your work and better serve the public.
The sessions include lectures, discussions, and workshops that stress the nature of good prose, gender neutral language and the special requirements and challenges of decision writing. Much of the instruction will center on practical written exercises. Each attendee will be assigned an instructor who will read a sample of the attendee’s writing prior to the seminar and coach the attendees during the seminar workshops.
Bilingual program with simultaneous interpretation.
IMPORTANT: Please note that to participate in this seminar, you must have written at least one decision since it will be worked on during the workshops.
