What a busy month! Here is a little throwback to our Chet Mitchell Lecture earlier this month with Professor Judy Fudge. A few of the attendees shared with our Law Ambassador, Jiire what they learned or took away from the event. Check out what they had to say! ⚖️🎓📚

With finals coming up fast, are you feeling bored with your usual study space?

We are so fortunate to have so many amazing coffee shops both on campus and off campus that are great spots to grab a coffee (or other beverage of choice) and get some work done, just like grad student Dana! ☕️📚

The end of the term is in sight which means... exams and final assignments!

Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming Professor Judy Fudge from McMaster University in Hamilton. Professor Fudge delivered our 2026 Chet Mitchell Memorial Lecture titled, "Constructing Modern Slavery: Law, Capitalism and Unfree Labour" which was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended.

Thanks to everyone who came out! 🙌🎉

The weather outside may be freezing cold 🥶 but the skating conditions on the canal are just right ⛸️

Check out some important lessons that students learned from Sunday's event. ⚖️🎓📚
