Going on exchange to Toronto

,

Bilal Manji (3L) and Dave Marshall (4L)

Each and every September, newly-minted third year students arrive at the Faculty of Law just to discover that half of their classmates have gone missing. Their chairs in the reading room filled by naïve, smiling students who have never yet had to write a closed-book Torts exam, these “missing” 3L snowbirds have dashed to “educational” institutions around the globe. Armed with only a selfie stick and an articling bonus, these “students” traipse around Asia and pose beach-side next to European castles, all while taking just enough pass-fail credits to graduate.

At least two of us mere non-exchange kids decided that in the face of all odds and increasingly infuriating Facebook posts (yes, Pat, we know you can pour a perfect Guinness), we would take matters into our own hands and go on an exchange of our own…to the beautiful “University of Toronto Faculty of Law” in glorious Toronto, Canada! Built in 2019, this historic school (and its namesake city) is a beautifully rewarding place for an exchange. See for yourself on Instagram at daveandbilal_do3L. A small sampling of photos is available below.
