MLSA President

Hello Robson,

My name is Cole Cornies, I am a 3L here at Robson Hall, and I am the President of the MLSA for the 2026-27 academic year.

Prior to attending law school, I completed a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology in my home province of British Columbia. I drove myself and a truck full of all my worldly possessions from BC to Winnipeg back in 2024 to be here.

I am passionate about the community here at Robson Hall. In the 2025-26 academic year I served as the MLSA Vice-President Finance, and throughout my time at Robson I have been a member of many student groups & clubs, from the Squash Club to the Debate Society to the Robson Hall Music Appreciation Club. If you are reading this as a student here at Robson, there is one thing I would encourage above all others: find a student group or two that speaks to your interests, and get involved! The relationships you form during your time at law school are enduring, and enriching. If you don’t see a group that interests you, it’s never too late to start one.

The role of the President is to oversee and direct the activities of the MLSA, coordinate and communicate with the Faculty of Law and its many directing committees and bodies, and provide a voice for Faculty of Law students, among other responsibilities. With that being said, if you find yourself in need of help with something within the broad scope of law school related affairs, I am all-ears and happy to help!
