Our Focus Areas
01.
Legal Education
We believe that education is key to understanding the law and its impact on society. Our association offers a variety of resources and events to help students gain a deeper understanding of the legal system and its complexities.
02.
Social Justice
As an association, we are committed to promoting social justice and advocating for marginalized communities. We organize events and workshops that focus on issues related to human rights, diversity, and inclusion.
03.
Legal Practice
We understand the importance of practical experience in the legal field. Our association provides opportunities for students to gain practical experience through internships, mentorship programs, and other initiatives.

Research and Writing
Our association runs an undergraduate social science journal called 'Writ of Certiorari.' We offer opportunities for students to develop their research and writing skills by contributing to the journal and participating in writing workshops.
The Law and Society Students' Association acknowledges that our endeavours span numerous Indigenous territories across the expanse now known as Canada. With 70 treaties signed between the Crown and Indigenous nations, alongside unceded territories in British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec, and Nova Scotia, we recognize the complex landscape of Indigenous land rights. Situated in Tkaronto (Toronto, Ontario), our university and office stand upon ancestral lands of various Indigenous nations, including the Anishinaabe, the Haudenosaunee, and the Mississaugas of the New Credit. Indigenous peoples maintain their presence and connection to these lands. We are mindful of the enduring challenges confronting Indigenous communities and pledge to cultivate genuine partnerships, champion Indigenous rights, and prioritize Indigenous perspectives in all our endeavours. Let us deeply consider the histories, cultures, and contributions of Indigenous peoples as we endeavour to construct a future founded upon mutual respect, understanding, and reconciliation.
