The front entrance of the Law Courts will be undergoing a renovation commencing on October 15, 2019. The work is expected to last between 12-18 months. During this renovation, anyone wanting to enter the Law Courts will be redirected through the front doors of 405 Broadway. This entrance will see an increased flow of traffic and additional sheriffs will be assigned to the area for the duration of the construction. There will be some challenges as we adjust to these traffic flows, so your cooperation is greatly appreciated.

Over 9,500 decisions from the Manitoba Reports have been added to CanLII!
CanLII is grateful to have received a grant from the Manitoba Law Foundation to add decisions from the first and second series of the Manitoba Reports to CanLII.org.
For the last year we have been doing research into what gaps there are in legal research for jurisdictions across Canada. In Manitoba we discovered that there was a gap in access to historical caselaw for the province. Following this we applied for a grant to help fill that gap.
We have added around 4,500 decisions from the first series and 5,000 from the second series of the Manitoba Reports. You can find them on CanLII using this search query.
Thank you to Karen Dyck, Erin Wilcott, and the staff at the Manitoba Law Foundation for making this grant possible, and Karen Sawatzky at the Manitoba Law Library for helping us identify local needs.
The Manitoba Law Library would like to acknowledge with gratitude that we are situated on Treaty One Territory, the traditional lands of the Anishinaabe, Cree and Dakota peoples, and the homeland of the Métis Nation.
