March 2025 edition
It’s hard to believe the year is nearly over and this is the last edition of Ultra Vires for the 2024-2025 academic year. It has been the Students’ Law Society’s pleasure to represent the student body, advocate on your behalf, and host many successful events this year. From social gatherings to important policy discussions, this year has been quite busy. I welcome the next year’s executive team and am excited to see what they will accomplish.
In March, the Social and Finance Committee hosted Law Ball, taking an unexpected, but welcome, country-twist this year. From cowboy boots to cornhole it was a significant change from previous years. Our favourite part had to be watching the DJ lead students in a line dance!
We understand that exam season is an extremely stressful time for everyone. That is why the SLS is pleased to announce that we will be providing both earplugs and snacks again during exam season. And, of course—what every student looks forward to the most during this tough time—the Administration has confirmed that they will once again be providing free coffee and tea in the atrium.
This year has also been marked by important advocacy efforts. I want to take this opportunity to thank all students who helped the SLS with our initiatives this year. Whether it was joining us at Faculty Council for the walk-in, visiting our townhall booth, or filing out even one of many surveys we sent out, your participation was essential.
I hope to see you all at Call to the Bar of the year at Prenup Pub for one final celebration of all your hard work before exams!
