Presenters

Justice Alexandre Kaufman

Justice Alexandre Kaufman, Superior Court of Justice B.A., LL.B., was appointed to the Superior Court of Justice in 2018. Before his appointment, Associate Justice Kaufman acted as senior counsel in civil litigation at the federal Department of Justice and the Public Prosecution Service of Canada. Associate Justice Kaufman represented the Crown before the Ontario Court of Justice, the Superior Court, the Divisional Court, the Court of Appeal for Ontario, the Federal Courts, and a wide range of tribunals and boards. Mr. Kaufman's broad litigation practice included administrative law, procurement and trade remedies, employment, contract and tort claims, and criminal law. He also taught trial advocacy and civil procedure at the University of Ottawa and Algonquin College. He is the co-author of the Annotated Ontario Arbitration Legislation (Thomson Reuteurs) in its third edition. Knowledge of alternative dispute resolution has proven helpful in mediating and arbitrating disputes between his four children.

Regional Senior Justice Calum MacLeod

RSJ Calum MacLeod was born in Glasgow, Scotland and raised in Sudbury, Ontario. He attended Queen’s University, where he obtained his B.A. and LL.B. (Law ’80) and was called to the bar in 1983 after articling with the Office of the Ombudsman. After 16 years of practicing as a lawyer, mediator and arbitrator, he was appointed as a Case Management Master in 1988, serving in that role first in Toronto and then in Ottawa. He was appointed a judge in July of 2016 and Regional Senior Justice for the East Region in March of 2020. RSJ MacLeod has authored many important decisions relating to civil procedure, ADR and summary judgment. During his career, he has been involved in various court reform and legal education initiatives including regular consultation with judges and courts in other jurisdictions. Justice Macleod is a regular contributor to “Trembello” and other legal education conferences.

Susanne Sviergula

Susanne Sviergula is a partner at Cavanagh LLP whose practice is focused on professional liability, insurance defence and employment law, acting for both institutional and individual clients. A graduate of both the University of Ottawa and the University of Windsor, she was called to the bar in 2001.

She is also a regular volunteer at Law Help Ontario. One of her proudest accomplishments however is having run both the 2016 and 2017 Boston Marathon (with a not so secret desire of making it a hat trick in the future).
