A CMC is a meeting that takes place at the Court House. Attendance at this meeting is limited to the Judge, and the parties (the Plaintiff and the Defendant). If party has a lawyer representing him or her, the lawyer may also attend. This meeting happens after the Plaintiff begins the lawsuit by filing the Claim/Summons, but before the trial. Generally, the CMC is 30 minutes to one-hour long. This meeting is not a trial and, therefore, witnesses do not attend at this stage. www.sasklawcourts.ca/docs/Small_Claims_CMC.doc

Legal Definition - Defamation and LibelDefamation is an act of communication that causes someone to be shamed, ridiculed, held in contempt, lowered in the estimation of the community, or to lose employment status or earnings or otherwise suffer a damaged reputation. Such defamation is couched in 'defamatory language'.Libel and slander are subcategories of defamation. Defamation is primarily covered under state law, but is subject to First Amendment guarantees of free speech. The scope of constitutional protection extends to statements of opinion on matters of public concern that do not contain or imply a provable factual assertion.Libel is published material meeting three conditions:the material is defamatory either on its face or indirectly;the defamatory statement is about someone who is identifiable to one or more persons; and,the material must be distributed to someone other than the offended party; i.e. published, as distinguished from slander.Elements of Libel and SlanderSpecific requirements that a plaintiff must prove in order to recover in a defamation action differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Under the Restatement (Second) of Torts, which is drafted by the American Law Institute and has been influential among state courts, aplaintiff must prove four elements.First, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant made a false and defamatory statement concerning the plaintiff.Second, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant made an unprivileged publication to a third party.Third, the plaintiff must prove that the publisher acted at least negligently in publishing the communication.Fourth, in some cases, the plaintiff must prove special damages.

Its a meeting where you tell what happened. You explain your side of the story. They will ask you questions and you answer them. A clerk will write down what you say. Sometimes they ask tricky questions and you have to think before you answer. If they ask something and you are unsure of the answer, just say "I don't know."
Burden of proof is who has to prove the case by meeting or exceeding the standard of proof. In a criminal case, it's the prosecution. In a civil case, it's the plaintiff. Standard of proof is the unquantifiable amount of proof that must be shown. In criminal cases, it's beyond a reasonable doubt. In civil cases, it's a preponderance of the evidence.
