Hearing of Civil Motions During Summer Court Recess

During the summer court recess from July 2 to September 2, 2019, the uncontested civil motions list will sit on Wednesdays and Fridays each week. Emergency matters during these days will first need to be placed on an uncontested list. Emergency matters outside those days can be arranged by contacting the Civil Motion Coordinator or, if unavailable, calling the court’s off-hours emergency number.

Original signed by The Honourable Chief Justice Glenn D. Joyal. Dated April 23, 2019.

Articling Review Survey

by | May 22, 2019 | Articling, Continuing Professional Development, Law Society of Manitoba

Are you a current articling student, new lawyer, principal, firm recruiter or mentor of articling students?


Together with the Law Societies in Alberta and Saskatchewan, the Law Society of Manitoba is launching two surveys: one directed at articling students and new lawyers (articled in the last five years); the other directed at principals, recruiters and mentors. The surveys are designed to help the law societies better understand the experiences and supports that articling students are getting during their articling term in order to critically assess whether our existing systems are appropriately preparing lawyers for the future.


The surveys take approximately 15 minutes to complete and all responses will be analyzed in aggregate form only. Nothing shared by you will be linked to you in any way. As an incentive, you will have the option of submitting your name at the end of the survey for a chance to win a complimentary registration to any Law Society of Manitoba CPD of your choice (prize must be redeemed within the next year).

Surveys:

Articling Students and New Lawyers

Principles, Recruiters and Mentors

The surveys will remain open until June 17, 2019.

For more information visit the Articling Survey FAQ

If you have any questions, please contact Richard Porcher, Director of Admissions & Membership, at rporcher@lawsociety.mb.ca or Kris Dangerfield at kdangerfield@lawsociety.mb.ca

Thank you in advance for your participation.
