COMMENT: IMPORTANT TO JOIN. LEARN HOW LAWYERS THINK. VISIT POLICE FORENSIC BUILDING. MEET TORONTO LAWYERS. AS QC NO LONGER AWARDED FOR LEFT-WING POLITICAL REASONS, IT IS DIFFICULT KNOW WHO IS A SUPERIOR TRIAL LAWYER. GOING TO ONE OF THE TOP FIRMS HELPS. AT MED-LEGAL DINNERS A DOCTOR CAN MEET LAWYERS BOTH INTROVERTED SOLICITORS AND EXTROVERT BARRISTERS/.
CMPA APPOINTED LAWYERS ARE NOT ALWAYS THE BEST. FOR CPSO AN AGGRESSIVE CRIMINAL LAWYER IS PREFERED TO A GENTLE SOLICITOR-TYPE THE ALL FEMALE CPSO LAWYERS ARE EXTREMELY AGGRESSIVE/ A DOCTOR NEEDS A SIMILAR TYPE TO WIN. REMEMBER THE CPSO TRIBUNAL IS NOT A COURT AND SO THE PROOF REQUIRED FROM PROSECUTOR NEED NOT BE AS STRICT AS IN A COURT. ALSO THE TRIBUNAL IS A MIX OF PART-TIME OLDER DOCS AND POLITICAL APPOINTEES.
IT IS IMPERATIVE TO HAVE A SINKING FUND OF $100,000 FOR A COURT APPEAL TO AMATEUR TRIBUNAL VERDICTS, UNLIKE UK, CMPA DOES NOT FUND APPEALS. THERE IS NO LEGAL INSURANCE FOR APPEALS.
CPSO STATS SAY A MD WILL HAVE A SERIOUS COMPLAINT EVERY 20 YEARS. AS CPSO AUTOMATICALLY SENDS MD OR NURSE INVESTIGATORS AT 70 & THEN EVERY 5 YEARS. BEST TO STOP CLINICAL PRACTICE AT MAX. 69. ORGANISING CLINICS AS ADMINISTRATOR AVOIDS CPSO CONTACT. LEAVING CLINICAL PRACTICE AT 50 IS EVEN SAFER WITH LESS RISK OF CPSO LITIGATION.
MANY SMART ONT DOCS GET CALIFORNIA AND/OR FLORIDA LICENCES SOON AFTER GRADUATION. EASY THEN TO RELOCATE AFTER CHILDREN LEAVE LOCAL UNIVERSITY.
