Bring a Buddy Months - In April and May 2023 consider bringing a non-member buddy to a Section Meeting.

The MBA wants to show non-members what they're missing!!
DATE: Friday, May 5, 2023
TIME: 12:00pm – 1:30pm
LOCATION: 2nd Floor Boardroom - 444 St. Mary Avenue, Winnipeg
TOPIC: Legal Writing Seminar
SPEAKER: Professor Peter Sankoff
Though it’s a key aspect of most legal work, not every lawyer makes the most of their writing opportunities. Persuasive writing gives your clients the best chance of solving disputes quickly and having the Judge decide positively. Professor Peter Sankoff is a scholar and appellate lawyer who has studied the art of persuasive writing for 20+ years. Join him for an entertaining and enlightening talk that will supercharge your legal writing.
