The Manitoba Law Journal is a peer-reviewed law review published annually by the University of Manitoba, Faculty of Law. It "aims to bring diverse and multidisciplinary perspectives to the issues it studies, drawing on authors from Manitoba, Canada and beyond. Its studies are intended to contribute to understanding and reform".[1].
The Journal has published issues consistently since it was founded by Dale Gibson in 1962.[2]
Its predecessor, the Manitoba Law School Journal founded by John Skirving Ewart published two volumes between 1884 and 1885[3]
The journal is published through the Shelly Weiss Publication Office housed on the fourth floor of Robson Hall[4]. It is funded by a grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council’s grant.[5]
Dimensions
For over 50 years, the Manitoba Law Journal published under a single title. In 2012, the Manitoba Law Journal began to organize itself categorically, to ensure that the content of each issue had a clear connection and purpose to the overall issue.[6] This change allows the journal to focus on legal issues that impact Manitoba.[7]
The Current Legal Landscape
Previously referred to as the Changing Legal Landscape, The first dimension of the Manitoba Law Journal Volume 35 Issue 1 was published first as a special issue in 2012. This volume focuses on developments within courts and tribunals.
Underneath the Golden Boy
Established in 2001 as a special edition of the Manitoba Law Journal, Underneath the Golden Boy became an independent publication for volumes 3-6 before returning to the Manitoba Law Journal in 2011 in Volume 34, Issue 3. "Underneath the Golden Boy explores developments in legislation and on parliamentary and democratic reform. It serves a vital purpose by advancing the potential and understanding of political advocacy in Manitoba by offering insight into parliamentary procedures and political structure."
Robson Crim
The third dimension, established in 2017, in volume 40, issue 1 focuses on criminal law and practice. Articles published by Robson Crim examine a wide range of critical matters in criminal justice including criminal justice, legislative reform and the scope of police powers. It has since transformed into a Canada-wide research hub in criminal law with over 30 academic collaborators from Canadian law schools.[8]
The Legal Profession
The Legal Profession focuses on the history of the law with a specific emphasis on the legal history of Manitoba. It was formalized in 2012 with the special issue Five: Chief Justices in Manitoba, volume 36, issue 3.
The Interdisciplinary Journal of Indigenous Inaakonigewin
Established in 2023, IJII formalizes the fifth dimension previously titled Indigenous Law first published in Volume 41 issue 5. Their goal "is to provide a diverse and inclusive platform, where teachers and students of all ancestral heritages can come together, across all academic disciplines, to share their research and knowledge as it pertains to Indigenous history, politics, law, education, health, business, as well as artistic expression, in the spirit of truth and reconciliation."
The Review of Enterprise and Trade Law
The sixth dimension of the MLJ also known as TRETL is a fusion of two journals, the Asper Review and the Desautels Review. The Asper Review was published as an independent publication from 2001 to 2021, the final volume of the Asper Review was published in volume 45 issue 3. The Desautels Review’s first and final volume was published in 2022 in volume 45 issue 2.
Sports and the Law
The seventh dimension of the MLJ plans to publish their first issue in the upcoming volume 47.[9]
