June 18, 2021 —

All five issues of Volume 43 of the Manitoba Law Journal are complete and available to read on its website and other online sources including CanLII, HeinOnline, LexisNexis, Westlaw, Amazon (for purchase in both print and ebook), and the University of Alberta Open Access.

Volume one is particularly notable in being a showcase of some of the most recent research in legal history presented by guests of the annual DeLloyd J. Guth Visiting Guest Lectureships. In tribute to the recently-retired Professor Guth’s legacy, the MLJ compiled and published recent lectures including Hamar Foster’s Two “White” Perspectives on Indigenous Resistance: Emily Carr’s Klee Wyck, the RCMP, and Title to the Kitwancool Valley in 1927, and Donna T. Andrew’s Scandal, the Law and the Press: Attacking Immorality in Britain: Duelling 1760-1830.

Underneath the Golden Boy, the MLJ’s Issue 2, tackles current legal issues in Manitoba including a number of commentaries on legal ethics by and about Edgar Schmidt. In Issue 3, Professor Richard Jochelson and Assistant Professor David Ireland compiled papers presented at their recent conference, Criminal Justice and Evidentiary Thresholds in Canada: The Last Ten Years (2020).

Issues 4 and 5 comprise Robson Crim group’s annual contribution to the MLJ with further examinations of Criminal Law research.

Learning from professionals

On December 4 and 5, 2024, law students from the University of Manitoba Community Law Centre and the Criminal Law Group participated in the Criminal Defence Lawyers Association of Manitoba [CDLAM] annual conference. As a professional association representing the interests of Manitoba criminal defence lawyers, CDLAM brings together lawyers, law students and other justice system participants to reflect on the last year in criminal law, explore emerging issues, and call attention to the unique professional challenges of criminal defence lawyering.

Faculty of Law podcast studio first on Fort Garry Campus

The odd little table covered with monitors, bending arms and cables in the northwest corner of Robson Hall's MLT Aikins Classroom (room 206) is - a podcast studio. The only one of its kind thus far on the Fort Garry Campus, it is intended to be used by the Faculty of Law for a variety of innovative and dynamic teaching and learning situations. Added by MLT Aikins LLP as a continuation of upgrades the western Canadian law firm has sponsored in room 206 at Robson Hall, the studio was completed late fall, 2024.
