In this issue

We’re keeping this one short and sweet.

This issue, we reflect on debt and tuition (below) and the recent Toronto Recruit (page 16). Our Recruitment Special provides the hiring numbers, and personal commentary from students lends colour to this data. We feel especially fortunate to be sharing reflections from 3Ls who “failed” the 2L recruit (pages 19 and 20) and a first-hand account of experiencing the job-seeking process with mental health challenges (page 23). You’ll also find summaries of the long-form responses from our 2L survey (pages 16 to 18). (Part two of the Recruitment Special is forthcoming in our next issue).

If heavy topics aren’t your cup of tea this time of year, feel free to skip

to page X for an ample selection of funnies that will keep you smiling through to the holidays. (This issue actually contains more diversions than news and features combined!)

Speaking of getting in the holiday spirit, we’ve recently partnered with our friends at Obiter Dicta, the student newspaper of Osgoode Hall Law School, to bring you an exciting selection of their pieces in this issue (pages 9 to 12).

We hope you enjoy this issue and we wish everyone good luck on exams and a happy holiday season!

– Honghu Wang (2L) and Chloe Magee (3L)
