A hotly contested election brings exciting results
Despite an entirely virtual 2021 Students’ Law Society (SLS) election season, there was nothing lackluster about the candidates or their campaign efforts. This year, the SLS expanded their team and offered multiple new positions.
SLS Chief Returning Officer Kristy Wong (3L) remarked that the expansion made this election a particularly exciting one, with multiple candidates going head to head for nearly every position. For the Executive Committee, three candidates vied for President, two for Vice-President Academic, one for Vice-President Finance, one for Vice-President Social, and three for Vice President Student Life.
For the Social and Finance Committee (SFC), six 3L candidates ran for a total of four positions. Eight 2L candidates also vied for an equal number of class-specific representative positions.
For the Student Life and Academic Committee (SLAC), six 3L candidates were up for election for four positions. Nine 2L candidates ran for an equal number of positions.
One candidate ran for Law Director, University of Toronto Students’ Union (UTSU).
