If you’re seeing some new names and new perspectives around here at Law is Cool, it’s because as always we are ever expanding our list of contributors.

Here are some of the new additions:

Lawrence Gridin is currently a second-year law student at the University of Western Ontario, graduating in the class of 2010. He completed his Bachelor of Science at the University of Toronto, majoring in Psychology and History. Lawrence volunteers at Western’s Community Legal Services and has participated in the clinic’s outreach program. His diverse interests include social justice, 20th century history, photography, boxing, and politics. Lawrence has a strong blogging, computer and technical background that we will be using to revamp the site.

Tom Slade is a second-year law student at the University of Ottawa. He has previously been blogging on his own site, and has joined our team recently.

Torwoli S. Dzuali has a Bachelor of Social Sciences degree (B.Soc.Sc.) from the University of Otttawa; with honours in Criminology and a concentration in Psychology. She is currently pursuing her LL.B at the University of Ottawa common law faculty and is a member of the Ottawa Law Review.

The incoming first-years:

Adam Campbell was recently been accepted into his 1st year of the law program at UNB. He is currently the site curator for two sites: Daily Triathalon and Muddy Socks. He is a mature student with a fairly unconventional background as a former national triathlon team member, who later worked for Triathlon Canada as the national team manager. He will be competing on the school’s cross-country running team.

Dylan Hayward studied film production at York University and is anxiously awaiting responses from several Canadian law schools.

We are still interested in taking on more contributors, especially incoming first-years, so please contact us at admin[at]lawiscool[dot]com for more info.
