In the Courts: A Counsel's Memoir depicts the distinguished life and career of Earl A. Cherniak, K.C., one of Canada's leading advocates, spanning more than six decades - from 1960 to 2026.

Cherniak has been formative to the development of advocacy in Canada's court systems and is a renowned expert in commercial arbitration and dispute resolution. In this memoir, he reflects on his lifelong association with the firm Lerners, offering a rare glimpse into the life of an advocate in Canadian courts and tribunals. He traces his early years in practice, including clerking for Chief Justice McRuer and appearing in his first Supreme Court of Canada appeals, and explores the transformation of Canadian personal injury and fatal accident damage law, including the landmark Teno v. Arnold trilogy. He also reflects on complex trials, expert evidence, class actions, arbitrations, and high-profile cases, such as International Corona v. Lac Minerals, Horton v. Joyce, Groia v. The Law Society, the Morand, Krever, Patti Starr, and Walkerton public inquiries, and more. Cherniak highlights the lessons learned throughout his long and storied career while meditating on the changing profession.
