Law Library Hub

Civil and Family Law Clinic

Run by the University of Manitoba Faculty of Law and hosted by Manitoba Law Library, the Law Library Hub is a free, appointment-based legal clinic. Under the supervision of practicing lawyers, law students provide legal information in the areas of civil and family law for those who require help.

The Law Library Hub is currently on hiatus and will resume again in the fall.
