The Faculty of Law is pleased to announce the publication of its Experiential Learning Report which showcases the remarkable growth of clinical offerings at Manitoba’s law school.
The J.D. curriculum invites critical assessment of the role of law in society as well as the development of skills relevant to the practice of law. In addition to lectures and seminars, students are given an opportunity to develop, under supervision, some of the research, writing, and forensic skills which will prove essential in the practise of law.
Clerking gives you an opportunity to see the “inside” of the judicial decision-making process, to hone your research and writing skills and to gain a “judge’s eye view” of good advocacy.
Through participation in Moot competitions, our law students develop real world advocacy skills and challenge themselves to strive for excellence in adversarial settings. Mooting is an excellent forum for students to develop proficiency in oral arguments, written facta, public speaking, and extemporaneous debate, while making connections with scholars, judges, and legal professionals from schools and cities throughout the country.
Students have opportunities to work with the Faculty Members who edit the well-known scholarly journals housed at Robson Hall, including the Canadian Journal of Human Rights - Canada's only journal focusing on Human Rights, and the seven dimensions of the Manitoba Law Journal. For-credit courses are available to second and third-year law students in the Scholarly Publications courses.
Counselling Resources are available. Visit the Student Supports page for the most up to date information.
