In library jargon, current awareness is the process of keeping clients up to date on new issues in their area of interest. In the legal profession, that function is served by publishers of newsletters, bulletins, and newspapers.
Through our subscriptions, we can provide you with topical commentary in many areas of law. Rather than list them all, I’ll start off with a general one: LawSource Case Notes. This issue’s contents include digests on Civil Practice and Procedure, Construction Law, Contracts, Criminal Law, Evidence, Family Law, Immigration and Citizenship, Insurance, Pensions, Public Law, Real Property, Remedies, and Tax.
If you would like to receive LawSource Case Notes, please email us at library@lawsociety.mb.ca so we can set up a distribution list.
Here’s your first issue for review: LawSource Case Notes 2018-22

The Law Society of Manitoba’s newsletter, Communiqué, has just been released. It contains lots of important information, including our new address (for the law society itself, the library isn’t moving).
Tana Christianson, Director, Insurance writes about an iTunes gift card scam, there’s a notice of a judicial vacancy in the Northwest Territories, the discipline case digest directs you to two new decisions, and much more.
