2026 SALA Conference: The Future of Civil Sexual Assault Litigation

SALA 2026

Friday, October 16, 2026.

Vantage Venues, Toronto, ON | Attend In-Person or Virtually

Civil sexual assault litigation is evolving rapidly. Legislative reforms, growing public awareness, and a deeper understanding of trauma are reshaping how survivors seek accountability through the civil justice system.

At the same time, technological innovation and shifting expectations around access to justice are changing how lawyers investigate, litigate, and support clients through these cases.

Our 2026 Conference focused on: 

  • Technology and digital evidence in civil sexual assault cases
  • The role of restorative and alternative pathways to accountability
  • Legislative and jurisprudential developments shaping civil claims
  • Trauma-informed approaches to litigation and client care
  • Changing expectations of survivors pursuing civil justice

This course has been approved for 6 CPD credits with the Law Society of British Columbia

Thank you to everyone who joined us online and in-person at our second annual conference. We’ll share more information soon on SALA 2027, happening in fall 2027 in Vancouver.
