The Constitution outlines procedural rules, responsibilities of LSS members and regulations. The JCEC hears complaints against LSS members, oversees the LSS Constitution and administers elections. Law has 3 representatives on the SGPS council. The representatives express the needs and views of law students to ensure our voices are heard in the wider university community. The SGPS provides a health plan for all members, complete with dental coverage starting in September 1999.
Meetings are open to all law students and attendance is encouraged.
General Meetings are held in March and November. The LSS Spark Award is given to the 1st year student who contributes most to the law school community. In 1999-2000, a new LSS award based on similar criteria was created for 2nd year students. Third year students are eligible to receive the LSS Gavel Award , the LSS Spirit Award and 2 LSS athletic awards. Law students may also apply for various law school awards and University-wide awards, such as the prestigious Agnes Benidickson Tricolour Award .
