Dear Readers,
Well, folks, that’s a wrap. For the last time this year (!!!), in this issue, you’ll find all the tea on competitive mooting, the Toronto 1L recruit, Follies, our Promise Auction profile on Professor Shaffer, and more! Move over Vogue; this issue has not one, but two fashion articles (come on, Law Ball is basically our version of the Met Gala). ✨💅
*SAPPY CONTENT INCOMING* We write this final “Letter from the Editors” with a heavy heart. This is our final issue of Ultra Vires as Co-Editors-in-Chief. It has been an honour to provide you with all the hot goss this school has to offer, and we know our incoming EiCs, Amy Kwong (2L) and Alyssa Wong (2L), will uphold this sacrosanct duty.
For myself (Harry), I joined UV in 1L as the Associate Diversions Editor, and writing ridiculous satire has been the highlight of my time at this Faculty. More seriously, UV plays an important role in holding the administration, and the greater law community, to account and I sincerely encourage everyone to get involved and ensure the student voice is always heard.
For me (Shae), UV has been an escape from the monotony of law school and a means to connect with the law school community. After all, UV is the schooltime delight of every law student! Okay, maybe I’m biased, but I love how UV brings students together to ponder, commiserate, and hopefully laugh—all within 24 pages.
Thank you to everyone who has supported UV in one way or another, past and present—our writers, editors, photographer, visual coordinator, business managers, social media coordinators, sponsors, and most of all, our readers. We wouldn’t be here without you!
xoxo,
Harry Myles & Shae Rothery
Co-Editors-in-Chief, Ultra Vires Vol. 24
