Welcome to another year of law school.
After a year of self-imposed exile in the Munk School’s Global Affairs program, I am back in law school proper.
Matt Brown left me with some big shoes to fill as this year’s Editor-in-Chief. But then he put those shoes back on and decided to stick around as Editor-in-Chief Emeritus. Sure it’s a made up title, but every firm has a kooky old partner who refuses to leave.
Try to humour him.
As the actual Editor-in-Chief this year, I’ve been working with the Editorial Board on some big changes. We’re going to experiment with covering real news this year. I spent some time digging through the UV archives, and apparently this used to be a thing. With the new grading system and a new building, there should be lots to talk about.
We’ve also upgraded the website – www.ultravires.ca – which has significantly increased the likelihood of our bad ideas going viral and of me getting sued. Please take pity on me when this happens.
You can even follow us on Twitter @UVires . Wild.
The paper is a big part of our school community and it’s whatever you guys want to make it. I encourage anyone who is interested, especially 1Ls, to get involved.
You’d be surprised by how low our standards can be. Maybe not. Either way, should be a fun year.
