Context Matters: Rediscovering the Origins of Manitoba Law

Join the Chief Justice of Manitoba, Richard Chartier, special guest presenter, Professor Aimée Craft, and Justice Jennifer Pfuetzner for a fun and interactive exploration of the impact of historical events on the legal system in Manitoba and Canada. Let’s dust off the history books and find out how these events resonate in the practice of law today, whether dealing with mineral rights to a piece of land, a client’s request to be heard en français in a Manitoba court, or the recognition of aboriginal and treaty rights.

The program will feature a keynote address by Supreme Court of Canada Justice Nicholas Kasirer.

This 3-hour education seminar is an opportunity for you to learn, to connect with colleagues and presenters, and to earn 3 hours of CPD which also fulfill your annual requirement of 1.5 hours of EPPM topics.
