Law is Cool

Law Is Cool is a new blog and podcast addressing issues related to law school and the legal field with a Canadian focus.

We’re currently in exams, but will be starting again in the summer and the new academic year. We’ve gone through some changes, and will likely have a slightly different focus and possibly some new partnerships in the next few months.

Law Is Cool is intended to be an exciting and engaging resource. This require your participation to make it happen. If you are a first year law student in Canada, feel free to contact us about joining the team.

We welcome your suggestions and comments.

Note: This site is student-run and always a work in-progress. If you are an advanced law student or practitioner and see what you consider to be a point in error or misunderstanding, please help us by contacting admin[at]lawiscool[dot]com.

If you are a blogger or web surfer that wandered over, please keep in mind that this is not your traditional blog. It is intended to be an academic site; a constant work-in-progress. We do use the “edit” button quite liberally and with good conscience in order to enhance the content.
