The University of Manitoba’s Faculty of Law will launch two new micro-diploma programs that will support internationally trained lawyers (ITLs) to become licensed to practice law in Manitoba. These micro-diplomas in Canadian Public Law and Canadian Private Law aim to provide better opportunities for ITLs to integrate into the Canadian legal community, find peer support, and access legal resources. UManitoba Dean of Law Dr Richard Jochelson said that the new micro-diplomas are “a critical step towards making the legal profession more accessible, not only for ITLs but also for the diverse immigrant communities they serve.” The programs will officially launch in Fall 2025.
