Combating Bias in Litigation - New Book

Bias exists in every person and is based on his or her life experience. Bias occurs in the courtroom because judges' life experiences have a significant impact on any hearing. Language-based evidence, in particular, is subject to this unfortunate reality.

Demonstrative Advocacy - Understanding and Constraining Partiality in Adjudication presents a ground-breaking scientific solution to this centuries-old issue. Author Hassan Fancy, Certified as a Specialist in Civil Litigation, is currently co-lead counsel in an unprecedented $3.5 billion dollar class action lawsuit against the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation representing a South Asian pathological gambler and his spouse.

Using Demonstrative Advocacy, he successfully sued the OLGC in 2007 on the same grounds asserted in the class action. The Honorable Madam Justice Macdonald held that Demonstrative Advocacy "...goes a long way in constraining subjective interpretations, reducing acrimony, and expediting settlement."
