INTRODUCTION continued... research our faculty members are working on are the foundations of this law school and are the means through which we are making a difference in our communities, whether we find ourselves in Manitoba, across Canada, or around the world. Law is a powerful tool in creating the societies we live in and at the University of Manitoba, we educate lawyers and leaders who are equal to the task of addressing the challenges we face. In this issue, you will read of work being done through the Centre for Human Rights Research on water as a basic human right. This is an issue of vital and daily importance here in Manitoba, as well as in many areas of the world. Those of you interested in business will find an article on how our students are learning about corporate governance while serving philanthropic organizations in Winnipeg. You will also read profiles of alumni who have taken their legal education into careers serving their fellow citizens as a firefighter, a member of the armed forces and as counsel to international tribunals to name but a few non-traditional career paths. Alumni giving back is the theme in the donor profile of a U of M couple who are devoted to seeing a positive future for Aboriginal students and their communities. Our students are also out there, doing remarkable things in our community here in Winnipeg, and across the world in a United Nations Internship in Montenegro. This is a dynamic Faculty where change is a daily reality. While many of the excellent professors you may have enjoyed during your studies are still leading Socratic discussions, others have retired and many new colleagues have joined the faculty, bringing exciting ideas for research and new perspectives on legal education. Just as the profession across the country is reviewing how it functions in an era when many other jurisdictions are losing the privilege of self-regulation, law schools in Canada are now facing increasing scrutiny from the Federation of Law Societies of Canada. All of these factors have contributed to our desire to consider how best we at the University of Manitoba, Faculty of Law can prepare the lawyers and leaders we need for Canada in the 21 st century. Enjoy reading this new Robson Hall Report and stay in touch so that we will have even more stories to share next year. Sign up to receive our quarterly enewsletters, email rhalumni@cc.umanitoba.ca.
