Please join us for a free talk by Professor Gerard Kennedy that will explore the “declaratory judgment”—i.e., a judgment that does not give parties any remedies beyond a declaration regarding a legal state of affairs—at the Alt Hotel in St. John’s, NL on Friday, November 14th, 2025, from 12:00–1:00 PM (NDT). This event is presented by the Runnymede Society’s St. John’s Lawyer Chapter. 

Professor Kennedy will discuss the purposes of a declaratory judgment and the circumstances in which this remedy may be granted, as well as its advantages and limitations. A light lunch will be provided. Registration is required. Participants can receive one hour of CLE credit for attending.
