The Law Students' Association and Other Student Activities
The Law Students’ Association is a co-ordinating student body which represents its members within the College of Law, the University and the community as a whole. Its council is empowered to organize and direct activities and functions deemed to be in the interests of its members.
The L.S.A. is represented on Faculty Council and continually strives to broaden the area of student participation in decisions made by the faculty. In this way, and by initiating action in areas which are of interest to both students and faculty, the L.S.A. provides students with an opportunity to take a meaningful part in the administration of the College.
The Association is extremely active in promoting social, cultural, athletic and law related events and activities.
“Legal Follies” is another example of the manner in which total student involvement is encouraged within the College. This annual variety show is produced and performed by law students with all proceeds donated to charity.
The Aboriginal Law Students’ Association provides a support network for Aboriginal students, a voice to faculty and the law student body as a whole and sponsors various social activities.
On a volunteer basis, students provide free legal help to members of the University community through Campus Legal Services. This serves to aid law students in developing interviewing techniques and practical legal skills. Other students provide free legal assistance to inner city communities in Saskatoon through Community Legal Assistance Services for inner-City Saskatoon (CLASSIC), created through a partnership between College of Law students and community organizations. College of Law students also have a very high participation rate in legal assistance to various organizations through Pro Bono Sudents Canada.
