UM Faculty of Law to launch micro-diploma programs for internationally-trained lawyers in 2025
July 19, 2024 —
Starting in the fall of 2025, the University of Manitoba’s Faculty of law will offer two new micro-diplomas to allow internationally trained lawyers (ITLs) to become licensed to practice law in Manitoba. Consultations started in 2023 to identify what systemic barriers to legal education these individuals faced, and what remedial measures would improve access to legal education and, in turn, access to justice in Manitoba. The consultations resulted in the launch of the micro-diplomas – one in Canadian Public Law and one in Canadian Private Law.

The discipline of interior design is particularly interested in this technology due to its ability to preserve and record building data. During the summer of 2023, initial research conducted with undergraduate researcher Vyas Gopal enabled Assistant Professor of Interior Design, Jason Shields, to explore the potential of 3D scanning for interior environments. This early-stage research delved into the complexities of photogrammetry and the integration of 3D scans into game engines to create virtual reality simulations.
