Supporters of the Canadian Association of Labour Lawyers


Lancaster House


Welcome to the Official Website of
The 2006 Annual Conference
Fairmont Hotel
St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador
18-21 May, 2006

This year's theme is:
"The Future of Labour Law: A Brave New World or Apocalypse Now?"

What does the future hold for labour lawyers and trade unions, here and abroad? Will our practice and profession continue to grow and develop with new practitioners providing new insights and energy? Will the traditional driving forces of industrial relations, including strikes and lockouts, continue to set the agenda for labour law?

Our Agenda Committee is putting together an exciting and interesting conference program which will examine the future of labour law from multiple perspectives. Our planned highlights include:
The Future of:

  1. Labour and Employment Law
  2. Labour Law and Industrial Relations as Academic Disciplines
  3. Employee Privacy
  4. Industrial Conflict
  5. Labour Law Around the World.

In the tradition of CALL/ACAMS Conferences, we will also offer the usual favourites: “The Ten Minute Labour Lawyer” Plenary; Workshops and skills sessions, and the “Supreme Court Update”.

You will be able to make all your Conference business from this Website: Register, Make Hotel Reservations, sign up for non-conference activities, explore local attractions and events and contact the conference organizers for suggestions or more information. We hope this format will improve your conference experience and help you make the most of your visit to Canada’s “City of Legends”.

Please note that the Website will be updated on a regular basis all the way up to conference time – so check in often for more conference information as well as added attractions and events.
