No scandal this time!
This March,14 students ran during the Students’ Law Society (SLS) 2025 Spring General Election. Many candidates already held SLS positions in prior academic years, but several candidates made their SLS debut during this election.
Representative and executive positions were up for grabs this election. All representative positions were acclaimed, with two 3L SLAC positions and four 3L SFC positions remaining vacant. While most executive candidates ran unopposed, there was a close race between three candidates for the Vice-President, Finance position.
