LETICIA WABASH

Leticia was called to the Bar of the Law Society of Manitoba in June 2024 and joined Maurice Law in September 2024. Prior to joining the firm, she completed her articles with Legal Aid Manitoba, where she focused on criminal defence work.

As a member of Maurice Law, Leticia is developing her practice in the areas of Specific Claims and litigation. Leticia earned her Juris Doctor from the Bora Laskin Faculty of Law at Lakehead University. During law school, she served as President of the Indigenous Law Students’ Association and was an active member of the Mino-Waabandan Inaakonigewinan Indigenous Law and Justice Institute. She also sat as a student representative on the Bora Laskin Anishinaabe Omaa-Minowaywin Committee. Her legal education included participation in a national Aboriginal Law Moot, as well as a placement with the Human Rights Legal Support Centre in Toronto, where she appeared before the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal.

Before entering law school, Leticia worked with First Nations organizations, providing support to communities, businesses, and survivors of Indian Residential Schools, Day Schools, the Sixties Scoop, and their descendants. This work allowed her to reconnect with her traditional teachings and deepened her commitment to advancing access to justice and creating meaningful change within Indigenous communities.

Leticia is a proud member of Waywayseecappo First Nation in Manitoba.
