Internationally Trained Lawyer program

The University of Manitoba Faculty of Law has worked closely with the NCA as we developed two micro-diploma programs, which, alone or in combination with one of our graduate degrees, are designed to meet NCA requirements to meet the needs of internationally trained lawyers and those with a Canadian civil law degree. Based on their learning needs and goals, students may choose to undertake the Canadian Public Law Micro-Diploma or the Canadian Private Law Micro-Diploma.

Students may also combine one of our micro-diploma programs with a Master of Laws (LLM) or Master of Human Rights program to meet additional requirements of the NCA, including in-person learning requirements (separate application and admission required).

Students will have access to support and experiential learning opportunities which foster meaningful inclusion in Manitoba’s legal profession.

Both micro-diploma programs allow students to take additional courses which may be required by the NCA or which may enhance their legal education and provide:

• A high-quality legal education which fosters excellence; · Wrap-around supports, including career services and an introductory course, Preparation for the Study of Law in Canada to enable success;
• Greater opportunities for professional inclusion in Manitoba’s legal community;
• Rich elective course offerings to meet additional NCA requirements or to pursue other areas of interest;
• Optional clinical and experiential learning opportunities.
