Have you ever attended a CPD Summer Replay? Why not take the opportunity to slow down and catch up on your CPD hours during the quieter summer months.
Register today for one of these low-cost, in-person presentations.
Walk-Ins welcome!
These programs are replays of previously recorded live presentations offered in-person only in the Law Society Classroom. Lunch and refreshments are not included. Feel free to bring your own refreshments.
Programs include:

Renouncing U.S. Citizenship – Why, How and What are the Consequences?
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).
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
New Rights, New Obligations: An Introduction to The Family Homes on Reserves and Matrimonial Interests or Rights Act
This self-paced e-Course is available on demand and is designed to provide you with substantive information about the Family Homes on Reserves and Matrimonial Interests or Rights Act (FHRMIRA), as well as practical information you will need to know when making applications under FHMRIRA.
Did you know that under FHRMIRA each First Nation (other than those excluded) may be able to enact its own laws to address matrimonial property interests or rights on reserve land, but that unless and until they do so, provisional rules under FHRMIRA apply?
Under the provisional rules spouses and common law partners may have rights to property on reserves in cases of relationship breakdown or death.
Topics covered include:
Understanding the Background
Understanding the Foundation of FHRMIRA
Manitoba’s Approach to the Protection Order and Exclusive Occupation Order Provisions
Matrimonial Property Interests or Rights
Estates
Penalties and Enforcement
This program may be reported for a maximum of 1.5 hours of CPD activity for Manitoba Members.
