On November 21, 2024, the Manitoba Indigenous Law Students Association (MILSA), in partnership with the Manitoba Bar Association’s newly established Indigenous Lawyers Forum, hosted the inaugural “In Good Relations” networking event at Migizii Agamik (“the Bald Eagle Lodge”) on the University of Manitoba campus. Julianna Albert, a 2L student, translated “In Good Relations” into Cree as “kâkînaw mino omâkiinak,” noting that the name “beautifully captures the essence of the event.” Designed as an informal and welcoming gathering, the event aimed to foster meaningful connections between Indigenous law students, practicing lawyers, and articling students.

On October 11, 2024, law students at the University of Manitoba’s L. Kerry Vickar Business Law Clinic had the unique opportunity to meet in person with the Clinic’s benefactor, L. Kerry Vickar [LLB/1980], and his wife, Simone Vickar. This visit allowed students to showcase what they’ve learned through the Clinic and to gain insights from an alum whose entrepreneurial vision has helped shaped their legal education.
