Dear Readers,
Congratulations on making it to the 75th Hunger Games—oops, congratulations to the law school on its 75th anniversary.
To the bushy-tailed, wide-eyed 1Ls—run while you still can (we’re kidding, partially)—welcome to U of T Law. To the upper-years, we hope you had a restful summer and welcome back no matter where you’re reading this from (in the back of P120 or halfway across the globe).
We are the Editors-in-Chief for UV’s 26th trip around the sun! For those of you who are unfamiliar with UV—UV is not a magazine, it’s certainly an academic journal, it’s a little informative (with the exception of the Recruit Special). The writers try really hard to be funny, and UV features a lot of trash talking about a law school for which we all voluntarily pay tuition. We also give out free donuts (but you already know that, don’t you?).
As you inhale your Krispy Kreme and flip through this issue, you’ll find a recap of the U of T Law 75th anniversary kick-off celebration, our annual coverage of constructive criticism (complaints) regarding Cognomos, a review of coffee shops for when you want to study somewhere other than Bora, and the return of the Ultra Vires Crossword—a great addition to your in-class rotation.
If you have any comments, are looking for ways to get involved with UV, or just want to say hi, you can always reach us at editor@ultravires.ca or @ultravires.ca on Instagram.
May the odds be ever in your favour!
Manreet & Abby
Co-Editors-in-Chief
Ultra Vires Vol. 26
