One of our most popular services is the distribution of legal newsletters. Our subscriptions with LexisAdvance Quicklaw and Westlaw Canada allow us to share their newsletters with members of the Law Society of Manitoba. LexisNexis has recently added a few more in the areas of criminal law and employment and labour law.
The Hill/Wein Criminal Evidence NetLetter is a semi-monthly current awareness service providing case summaries and commentary in the area of criminal evidence.
The latest issue highlights matters on:
- appeal court overstepping its ‘unreasonable verdict’ jurisdiction (R v Brunelle, 2022 SCC 5)
- rejection of defence stereotyping submissions re complainant’s behaviour (R v Sheppard, 2022 ABCA 88)
- WD framework applicable to credibility and reliability assessments (R v Thalheimer, 2022 SKCA 25)
Looking to be updated on the latest employment and labour law decisions?
Along with the LexisNexis Employment Law NetLetter and the LexisNexis Workplace Health, Safety and Compensation Law NetLetter, the JSL Labour and Employment Law NetLetter is a weekly current awareness service highlighting new labour and employment decisions from labour boards, arbitrators, human rights tribunals, and courts. Issues are added Wednesday of each week.
