The library is where you study, the cafe is where you eat. If you can’t tell them apart, CHECK THE SIGN ON THE DOOR!!

the library and law school premises of X are, first-and-foremost, reserved for “students in law” of X.

The second-tier shall consist of Bar students who are graduates of the X.

The third tier shall consist of lawyers, with preference given to alumni of X.

The fourth tier shall be a residual category, including but not limited to SNAILS.

Note that for the purpose of this act, all “students in law” from rival law faculties will fall under the residual fourth category, but students from non-rival faculties will be included in the third tier. For example, UdeM and Osgoode be fourth tier at the McGill Nahum Gelber Law Library, whereas UVic, UBC, Laval will be third tier.
Note that Sherbrooke and U of T will be fourth tier at all institutions (unless they wish to contract otherwise between themselves) due to the rowdiness of the former, and the U of T-ness of the latter.

Must have been guarding your desk in the law library too long and not paying attention in class.

ANAL (AN Actual Lawyer) (not law student)

Great suggestion. Although our Legal & Literary Society is one of two arms of Osgoode’s student government, they focus more on social aspects and events.

Student Caucus, however, focusses on representating student views at the administrative and faculty levels. And if my memory serves me correct, our Library Committee (http://www.legalandlit.ca/studentcaucus/committees.html) was formulated just last year.

Unlike most other law schools, Osgoode has a student representative who I can approach to put forth these views in the next committee meeting.

While corruption affects many corners of society, the impact is particularly stark in the legal system, where some people without political connections have resorted to hiring decoy lawyers, for fear that their legal documents would vanish if presented to particular clerks by lawyers recognized as working for them.
