When a modern-day brutus crosses your path, although your first reaction is likely a lawyer, it’s not always your wisest choice.
National Brutus Day – March 15th
Often reviled (certainly by Dante) was Marcus Junius Brutus Minor, known to most as “Brutus” or more simply “Et tu Brute?”.
So why dedicate a holiday to this most heinous of individuals? This slayer of Kings and betrayer of friends?
Why, my good people, because Brutus Day reminds us that even in this modern age, betrayal, subterfuge, and back-stabbing is still alive and well.
This fun and knowledgeable panel, consisting of lawyers, mediators and paralegals answered questions about;
- the options for legal solutions in Durham Region,
- how alternative dispute resolutions can work for you in commercial, elder, family, workplace and many other legal areas, and
- the importance of training and staying current in our respective fields.
