Introducing New Practice Resources

We are excited to announce our newly relaunched Practice Resource Library. This comprehensive collection of resources is now conveniently available at the click of your mouse, free of charge. While designed to support all Manitoba lawyers in their practice, these resources have been developed with solo and small firm practitioners particularly in mind.

You will find substantive and procedural guidance, case law, precedents and forms with the ease of hyperlinked references in numerous topic areas grouped by 3 main categories:

  1. Practice Management
    These resources relate to running your practice and the business of a law firm. We know these can be challenging issues in solo and small firms. You will find helpful content on topics such as Planning for Absences and Contingencies, File Retention, Closing and Storage, Retainers, and Retirement-Winding up Your Practice. More content will be added regularly.
  2. Practice Area Fundamentals
    If you are new to a practice area or if you simply want a refresher on the current law and practice in Manitoba, the Practice Area Fundamentals are a great place to start. With the help of volunteer lawyers with relevant practice experience we’ve been able to update the old Bar Admission (aka CPLED) materials in many practice areas, including Criminal Law, Corporate and Commercial, and Real Estate.
  3. Professional Responsibilities
    As a lawyer you must remain aware and attuned to your professional responsibilities. As the legal landscape evolves so do our responsibilities. In this segment of the website you will find guidance on Trust Accounting, Anti-Money Laundering, Equity Issues , The Legal Profession and more!
