Today is Blue Monday, aka the most depressing day of the year, but we’re not letting that get us down!

Have you met the Faculty of Law’s Student Wellness Coordinator, Michael Rajan? He’s here to help a bit of cheer and lots of support, especially during difficult times like this.

Stop by the Law Centre today to grab some treats from Michael and chat about how he can help support you in your law school journey! 💙

From the classroom to the negotiation table! This week Dentons ( ) hosted a negotiation competition for our 1L class. For many students, this was their first opportunity to bring their knowledge from the classroom to a practical setting. Students negotiated in front of a panel of judges from different industries, as well as practicing lawyers from Dentons. 

Thank you to Dentons for hosting us, especially Alberta Director of Talent, Elizabeth Harding! Congratulations to the winners Samantha Kiezik and Julnar Jaber and to the runners up, Carson Schultz and Sean Pavzner!

Last week, the Faculty of Law was lucky to send Alexandra Bakir, Calum Ward, and Alex Alliston to attend the Prisme Conference in Ottawa. The conference discussed current issues facing 2SLGBTQ+ individuals in the legal profession and the advancement of 2SLGBTQ+ rights, both in Canada and around the world.

The attendees were able to connect with other OUTLaw student groups and various firms from across the country, hear from lawyers from around the world, including Australia, Ireland, and England, about their experiences being part of the legal and 2SLGBTQIA+ community, and expand their knowledge about how laws and progress that are made in Canada can positively and negatively impact the various legal systems in the Caribbean.

“The sense of community we felt was so heartwarming, and we have made lasting connections and friendships. We each had a wonderful time and learnt so much,” says Calum.
