Happy March!
This is the final Ultra Vires issue of the year and our last as Editors-in-Chief. We thank all of our readers, writers, editors, and sponsors for their support.
While, as always, we had hoped to release this issue in print, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, this month’s paper will be online-only. Although our Faculty has transitioned to virtual classes and the Jackman building has been closed, the U of T Law community continues to thrive on screens and on Facebook. Even without in-person meetings, our community has accomplished a lot, including successfully advocating for a credit/no credit grading system this term.
In this issue, you’ll find a piece describing how students have been spending their time in self-isolation, as well as ideas for recipes and movies that readers can try at home while social distancing. Our Opinions writers also present their take on Legal Research and Writing, STEM majors in law school, and Mango White Claw.
We hope that we achieved our goal of providing a forum for the law community to learn, think, and laugh together. Together, we’ve published the work of 59 writers in 146 articles.
Thank you again to all of our contributors and our editing staff, who braved the dusty basement of Falconer to help us put this paper together. We’ve really enjoyed our time together and are looking forward to passing Ultra Vires on to our new Editors-in-Chief: Vivian Cheng (1L) & Angela Gu (1L). We wish the best of luck to them.
We’re excited to see what next year brings!
Signing off for the last time,
Melody Chan & James Flynn
Co-Editors-in-Chief, 2019–2020
