Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

alf a century ago, legal education in Manitoba followed the trend in Canada.Its aim shifted: from a focus on training practising professionals toward higher education.It moved from downtown Winnipeg to the University of Manitoba; from the precincts of the courts and law firms, to the corner of a sprawling suburban campus.Law societies in Manitoba and other provinces would become responsible for completing the preparation of lawyers, including any articling requirements or admission examinations.We might call this change-in location, organization, mission-across Canada and this province the "Great Transition."Are we on the cusp of a counter-reformation-call it the "Second Transition"?While remaining part of the University, will this law schooland many others in Canada-aim to provide much more practice-ready students?That might mean much more clinical and experiential learning programs, or even a pervasive attention to the realities of practice, with almost every class spending some time on practical exercises.It could include administering much of the instruction, examination, and certification currently carried out by the bar admission course.Just a few months ago, one of our students of this school published an op-ed piece arguing that we outright move back downtown.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
