Dear Readers,
This is it! We’re at our final issue for Volume 23. We’re not crying, you are.
In this issue, you’ll find discussion on the SLS and Faculty Council updates, including a proposal to once again change the 1L curriculum; Toronto 1L recruit numbers; mooting hot takes; reviews galore from Ryan Shah’s last-ever movie corner to Associate Dean Essert’s updated views on pizza; poetry contest winners; reflections on the Faculty’s accommodations policy; our Promise Auction bid; and more! This issue also features an interview with UV’s EiCs from ten years ago, who made a compelling case that we should revive the EiC Emeritus role (you can pry this newspaper from our cold, dead hands).
On that note, we want to introduce our incoming EiCs: Harry Myles (2L) and Shae Rothery (2L). Both have a variety of experience on UV, from conducting investigations into the budget, writing monthly review articles, and making sure our Diversions section is at least somewhat funny. We’re confident that they’ll keep UV poppin’ for the 2022-2023 year.
Thank you again for letting us be your EiCs. We hope you enjoyed reading the issues as much as we enjoyed putting them together for you. Working on UV has been one of the best experiences in our law school journeys and we will miss the frantic end-of-the-month 3:00am editing spree to get things ready for the printer on time. Our deepest thanks to our entire team for their incredible work this past year; this would be nothing without you all. And shout out to you, our readers, for your support. If you actually read all these Editor Notes, know that you have a very special place in our hearts.
Best of luck finishing the term and have a great summer!
Signing off (one last time),
Sabrina Macklai & Annecy Pang
Co-Editors-in-Chief, Ultra Vires Vol 23
