Research in Manitoba’s Legal Community: Lightning Talks 2020

Time: 5:30-7:30pm

The MBA Legal Research Section invites law students and professors to present their recent or ongoing legal research projects. Each presenter will have five minutes to present, followed by a five minute question period. We are hoping to create a forum in which legal practitioners, students and academics can come together to learn about the interesting legal research that is occurring within the Manitoba legal community. Refreshments will be provided.
Please contact Heather Fast at heathermfast@gmail.com if you are interested in presenting at our event. Your participation is greatly appreciated.

We are excited to announce that Robson Hall will participate in the upcoming Western Canada Family Law Negotiation Competition from March 6-7, 2020. Dean Black-Branch has offered to host this inaugural competition in Winnipeg.
This competition will bring together practitioners, the judiciary, and faculty to work together to train law students to be family law lawyers. In family law, the access to justice crisis has propelled legislation and practice norms to move towards non-adversarial dispute resolution processes. In Manitoba, it is now mandatory for family law clients to engage in negotiation prior to involving the courts. As a result, lawyers are now required to build new skills, particularly in the areas of negotiation. In addition to furthering substantial knowledge of family law, the competition will provide a means for law students to practice and improve their negotiating skills. The competition will simulate legal negotiations in which law students, acting as lawyers, negotiate a series of family law issues.
The Western Canada Family Law Negotiation Competition is a competition for 3rd year law students. Working in teams of two, the law students will negotiate with opposing teams in three successive rounds of increasing complexity. The competition will be judged by various members of the judiciary from Manitoba, as well as senior family law practitioners.
