Human Rights Tribunal Mini-Trial

In your professional career as a Human Resources specialist, you will likely encounter claims under the Ontario Human Rights Code. Indeed, it is very likely that you may at one point in time be on the opposite side of a claim yourself. This assignment requires learners to file, reply to and adjudicate upon claims made under both of these statutes in a role-play. Learners will arbitrarily be assigned into teams of 2. Each team will consist of two (2) “Employers”, two (2) “Employees” and two (2) Adjudicators. One of the two “Employers” will be the Spokesperson/Counsel for the Employer. One of the two “Employers” will be the Spokesperson/Counsel for the Employee. One of the two Adjudicators will be the “President” of the tribunal.
