CTV Winnipeg: Reaction to Skibicki guilty verdict
Faculty of Law, Jeremy Skibicki, MMIWG
As the legal profession moves further into the bold new—virtual—world of web-based services, the MLJ’s Executive Editors, Dr. Bryan P. Schwartz and Professor Darcy L. MacPherson, are excited to announce a new special issue about Online Dispute Resolution (ODR). The project is part 2 of a trilogy of issues centered on how the Canadian legal system deals with crisis in the modern age. Volume 46, Issue 2, Online Dispute Resolution: Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic, is part oral history, part academic exploration of ODR.
The University of Manitoba has approved changes to the Faculty of Law’s Master of Laws (LLM) program in the spring of 2024. Graduate program applicants starting their studies in September of 2025 will have the opportunity to choose to complete either thesis or course-based LLMs. As well, applicants are no longer required to have a Juris Doctor (JD) or Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree, but rather can apply with a non-law degree relevant to their proposed research area.
