Meet some members of the incoming 1L class
Juan Elle
Juan is a shining example of our interdisciplinary student body, with an undergraduate degree in Health Science from McMaster University. Having walked into the LSAT thinking it was the MCAT, he ingeniously only picked C, scoring 174.
When we asked Juan why he wanted to attend U of T Law, he responded, “what!? I thought this was a medical school.” Then he sighed, “well, I guess this is all the same to my parents anyway.” You can catch Juan in the hallways wearing his signature white lab coat.
Constance Hetherington-Smythe
Constance hails all the way from Rosedale, Toronto, travelling an impressive four subway stations (with transfers!) to attend U of T Law.
Before law school, Constance personally ended the civil war in Angola, invented the smallpox vaccine, and completed two solo circumnavigations of Earth. When asked about her accomplishments, she responded, “you guys actually believed that shit I wrote on my personal statement? That’s hilarious. Holistic my ass.”
Constance dreams of one day making a bunch of money on Bay Street and learning where Angola is located. She looks forward to “not needing a single handout to pay for law school” as well as staying at her parents’ resort in Cancun during Reading Week.
Victor Caratun
Formally a student at Trinity College, Victor knew he wanted to go to U of T Law for years. “Ever since I head those stories about U of T Law students tearing pages out of textbooks, I knew this was the right place with the right culture for me.”
Victor has not been disappointed with his time at U of T Law so far: “once, I made a student cry when I told him he couldn’t be in our study group for Legal Methods. I really think the Class of 2021 might be the best one ever,” he said, elatedly. Victor plans on doing a joint JD/MBA to “experience being surrounded by the worst people the university has to offer. I’m especially excited for ‘The Art of the Deal II: What $130,000 can buy you’”.
Nemo “DQN” Habit
Nemo exemplifies the ambition the Class of 2021 brings to the law school. Nemo isn’t a single student, and is, in fact, three poli sci graduates in a trench coat. You can find Nemo in the cafe, the library, and looking furtively over their shoulder for Sara Faherty, who is desperately trying to find out how they only received tuition for one student, while giving out three students’ worth of financial aid.
