Western Bar CPD
Register for the Western Bar AGM Events directly with the WMBA.
Join us for a day of learning and connection, in an informal and collegial setting. Registration includes a hot breakfast, refreshments, and program materials. Topics on this year’s agenda:
- Right to counsel
- View from the Bench
- Clare’s Law
We’ve intentionally kept the registration fee low to encourage participation from lawyers across a broad range of practice areas. While not every topic will be directly relevant to every attendee, the program provides valuable opportunities to connect with colleagues, exchange ideas, and strengthen professional relationships.
Presenters

Provincial Court of Manitoba
