Welcome to the danger zone,
Or as optimists put it, “the home stretch.” As 1Ls try to figure out how to issue-spot, 3Ls have finally defrosted, supposedly “locking in”—attempting to complete an entire semester’s worth of readings in one week.
As you all may be aware (especially 1Ls who have stalked UV’s website to suss out future job prospects—we’re flattered), November is UV’s recruit special. We are very excited to present the hiring statistics from summer recruitment processes across the country, commentary on the recruit processes, including results from the demographic surveys, and insights from past and current students on the recruit processes. Congratulations to everyone who participated! No matter the outcome, your hard work and dedication is commendable!
You’ll also find coverage on recent events such as the construction law career panel and Senator Kim Pate’s lecture and the annual SNAIL invasion. To balance the ridiculous amount of numbers in this issue, the Diversions section is stacked with beloved favourites—practice exam questions and horoscopes for the holiday season ahead—and new pieces—exam season poetry and a posting for intensive professors (the Faculty could benefit from this).
The November issue marks the end of UV…for 2024 (it takes a lot to get rid of us). Unfortunately, our contributors have to study for exams and “take a break” during the holidays, so we can’t force them to keep churning out articles. We’ll catch you in the new year!
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.
P.S. wish Abby a happy birthday!
