Tatiana Lazdins: The students at U of T Law are such an accomplished and inspiring group of individuals that it is almost overwhelming. It has been an honour and a privilege to study among them. The school itself is privileged to have the dedicated professors, librarians and administrators whose contributions are so crucial to the excellence of the school. In the future, you’ll find me in patent prosecution. Thank you for three great years and best wishes for the next part of your journey.

Courtney Lerman: I chose to go to UofT law because the faculty is comprised of professors with a passion for the law and for teaching. The opportunity to be educated and mentored by leading academics and practitioners provides the foundation for an outstanding educational experience. The three years I spent studying at UofT taught me how to approach legal problems with the tools necessary to provide the best solutions. I look forward to beginning my law career with the confidence that I have received exceptional training.

Matthew Mundy: My experience at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law has far surpassed even my loftiest expectations. The faculty is, in a word, remarkable; the extracurricular opportunities are diverse, readily accessible, and enriching on a number of levels; and the experience as a whole has opened myriad doors, in areas traditionally legal and otherwise. The highlight, though, has been the students I have shared this experience with, who are incredibly accomplished, generous, and - most importantly - fun. All of these combined to create an environment that is welcoming, intellectually vibrant, and the perfect springboard for a career in law.

Steven Vasilevski: I wanted a future advising emerging and dynamic companies, helping them grow and realize their potential in Ontario, Canada and beyond. With its renowned faculty and proximity to Bay Street, UofT Law was a perfect fit. As a UofT graduate, I feel confident and prepared as I embark on a new and challenging career in corporate finance and securities law.
