Students' Law Society
All students at the Faculty of Law are members of the Students' Law Society (SLS). The SLS works to represent students and foster community at the Faculty of Law. Students elect executives and representatives from each year to form the SLS. The SLS has three committees: the Executive Committee, the Social and Finance Committee (“SFC”), and the Student Life and Academic Committee (“SLAC”).
The Executive Committee co-ordinates the operations of the SLS, and appoints officers to provide strategic support and advice to the SLS, and is the advocacy and event planning link between the SLS and the administration.
The Social and Finance Committee works to foster community among the students of the Faculty of Law. SFC is responsible for event planning, SLS finances, and student club funding. SFC representatives meet weekly to assist in the organization of social events (such as Law Ball, coffeehouses, trivia, and pub nights) as well as to oversee and fund the clubs at the Faculty of Law.
The Student Life and Academic Committee represents student voices on Faculty Council (the governing body of the law school) and its sub-committees. SLAC representatives work with faculty members and administrative officials to set policy on topics including accessibility, admissions, curriculum, equity, experiential learning financial aid, and the long-term direction of the law school. SLAC holds weekly meetings to respond to student concerns as they arise as well as to discuss ongoing efforts to represent student interests in roles on Faculty Council and committees.
