Edward (Ned) Brown Headnotes & Footnotes Award

This award recognizes a Manitoba CBA member for outstanding contribution to our newsletter, Headnotes & Footnotes, in the past year. On January 22, 2021, the MBA changed the name of the award to the Edward (Ned) Brown Headnotes & Footnotes award. Sadly Edward (Ned) Brown passed away on September 15, 2020. Given Ned’s significant contributions to the Association’s newsletter, the MBA thought it was important to rename this award, in his honour, to ensure his memory will live on in the Association. It is one of eight MBA Recognition Awards, honouring colleagues who demonstrate excellence and commitment to the law, the legal profession and the community at large.
