Who can apply?

Persons applying for admission in this category are not seeking our J.D. degree, but wish to meet the educational requirements towards the practice of law in Canada. One would have a law degree from a civil law school in Canada or from a foreign law school, or is/was entitled to practice law in a foreign jurisdiction.

Category Requirements:

1. A written statement indicating his/her connection with/to the province of Manitoba and why he/she desires to complete their studies at Robson Hall, Faculty of Law. If an applicant claims to be a Manitoba resident, a copy of their MB Health Card is required, and

2. A copy of the recommendation letter from the National Committee on Accreditation, and

3. Official transcripts from legal studies (transcripts of pre-law studies are not required), and

4. proof of English Proficiency, if applicable.

Application Assessment:

The application is reviewed as a whole with no weight attached to any one requirement. It should be noted no specific number of seats are reserved for NCA applicants in any one year, and competition is especially keen.

Decisions are not made until mid-August. Applicants will be notified of the decisions via email & post. Reasons for decisions are not recorded nor disclosed.
