Law360 Canada (September 3, 2026, 2:56 PM EDT) -- Upcoming conferences listed by Saskatchewan’s law society will include a look into the emotional challenges in estate disputes, French terminology in family law contracts, and the current state of AI in the legal profession.

On Sept. 1, the Law Society of Saskatchewan (LSS) posted legal conferences for September and the first half of October.

On Sept. 8, the Canadian Bar Association’s Alberta Wills and Trusts Section will host Mediating Estate Disputes, a virtual session examining the legal and emotional challenges in contested estate matters and the role of mediation in dispute resolution.

The event will also explore the challenges of costs associated with estate litigation, the uncertainty of outcomes, and the need for strategies in mediation and dispute resolution.

From Sept. 9-11, the Canadian Institute for the Administration of Justice will host its biennial conference, which will examine the challenges and developments in legislative drafting.

“The 2026 program offers thought-provoking discussions on the process of preparing legislative texts alongside reflections on recent developments shaping the field,” states an information page. “Topics include the practical realities faced by drafters, new AI initiatives, Indigenous co-development of legislation, and the correction of legislative texts. Comparative approaches, ethical considerations and interactive sessions will round out a rich and engaging program.”

On Sept. 12, the French Speaking Jurists Association of Saskatchewan and the Centre canadien de français juridique inc. will hold a family law workshop covering “informed decision-making” in the realm of custody, parenting and parental responsibilities in the wake of separation and divorce.

The session will go over contract terminology, as well as concepts and “expressions” involved in “drafting, interpreting and executing legal agreements.”

Closing out September, the Saskatchewan Trial Lawyers Association will be up on the 30th to give an overview of the landscape when it comes to artificial intelligence in the legal profession. The session will explore available tools and examine “key considerations” for those wanting to use AI in practice.

On Oct. 13 and 14, the Canadian Legal Information Institute and Lexum will co-host Law via the Internet — a forum covering technological change in the profession involving legal information, access to justice, AI and legal data, data reliability and “international collaboration.”

According to an information webpage, participants will include judges and court administrators, legislative drafters, providers of free access and commercial legal information, justice sector policymakers, researchers and tech professionals.
