Letter from your Editors
by Darin Gette (3L) & Erik Heuck (3L)
It’s about a month into the school year, with Fall Reading Week still
over a month away, and the Thanksgiving weekend looking more
and more like an opportunity to catch up on work, rather than spend
time with your family. For the upper years this will be familiar, but
nonetheless surprising, as having completed a year or two of law
school does not seem to prepare you at all for the next. And as for
the 1Ls, no matter how well you think you’re doing and staying on-
top of things, you aren’t, and come December you will feel the ago-
nizing pain of law school exams. And even if upper years try to con-
vince you that midterms don’t really count, and there’s nothing to
worry about, you will worry and it will suck.
That’s where this first issue of the Caveat comes in. As I’m sure
you’re aware, the Caveat is a unanimously beloved institution here
at the College of Law, where we try to lighten things up by publishing
quirky (and sometimes informative) articles by members of the stu-
dent body. The hope is that amidst the panic-inducing terror that is
law school, you can find time to enjoy the creative work of your fel-
low students, and maybe even publish something yourself (because
you totally have free time to write extra-curricular articles, I’m sure).
So, if procrastinating be the food of law, read on…
The Caveat Lector | Vol. 16, Issue 1 4
by Erik Heuck (3L)
Every year the LSA President gives
an address of sorts. I don’t tend to
buy into the self-indulgence,1
so
this is a little out of character. That
being said, like King Bob in Dis-
ney’s Recess, I will dispense what
wisdom I can from atop an outdoor
chair on the playground.2
Grade 1s: Much orienting has
been made in your direction these
past few weeks. I will spare you
any further “oh you gotta’s” in fa-
vour of a singular message:
You are trailblazers. Like Travis
Sylvestre, who once tucked his
jeans into his socks, you're on a
path none have walked before. I
refer to your Legal Research &
Writing course. In times before to-
day, LRW was something 1Ls blew
off. Now it appears you are des-
tined to sit through “how to write a
paragraph” lectures at the pain of, I
don’t know, death?
Kwayeskastasowin has also been
entirely revamped after a very long
time of being offered for one year,
so there too, you are adrift at sea.
But these are merely hills standing
before a mountain.
The biggest thing which you must
learn for yourselves is how to make
this place your own. It’s my sincere
hope you carve a nook that turns
cold glass and limestone into your
community. These students are
your peers. I trust we will soon be-
come your friends.
Grade 2s: School’s been in ses-
sion for a month and you’re already
more interesting than last year’s
2Ls.3 The College is better with you
here. It’s only a shame you’re going
to disappear under a cannonade of
schoolwork any time now.
When you can, enjoy your together-
ness. It makes the year more like a
game and less like a fight.
Third Graders: Notice4
I aban-
doned the grade-followed-by-
number format here. This is a testa-
ment to how important you are. But
also how you are still only in the
beginnings of elementary school
(implying 3Ls know very little). No
matter! Pushing through…
I trust all are fighting varying levels
of disengagement. Some are still
piloting the ship, vigilant against the
night sky for obstructions that could
bring it all down. Others have the
autopilot switched to “ON,” paying a
version of attention that’s little more
than an “oh, yes?” (eyebrows
raised). Others still have hit eject,
leaving behind only shattered glass
and boltwork where a seat used to
be.
Wherever you are, at whatever
stage you find yourself in this col-
lective experience, please come
find me. Let’s have a pop or a cof-
fee or a foos or a chat. Because
that’s what I’ve enjoyed most about
all this.
Chairs,

Diversity and Law Society
by Alykhan Nurani (3L)
The Diversity and Law Society is a
club focused on the promotion of
diversity and multiculturalism in
Law. We seek to represent minori-
ties of every kind, speaking to the
unique challenges faced by minority
lawyers and law students. We also
look to build mentorship relation-
ships between students, as well as
student-practitioner mentorships.
This also allows us to spend time
developing opportunities to connect
with people in the legal community
and for the broadening of profession-
al networks.

Level U of S Chapter
by Darin Gette (3L)
Level is a national charitable organ-
ization which works to “level” barri-
ers to justice by promoting access
to legal services and defending hu-
man rights globally. The goal is to
create a world where every person
is treated with dignity and equality
before the law, and can exercise
their fundamental human rights and
be allowed to thrive.
The U of S chapter of Level organ-
izes fundraisers such as Assassins,
Pie in the Face and Trivia Night,
which have become annual tradi-
tions at the College. We also organ-
ize the Indigenous Youth Outreach
Program (“IYOP” for those in the
know), where law students help
teach the Grade 7 class at West-
mount Community School about
some of the basic concepts of crim-
inal justice. The program culmi-
nates with a mock trial where the
students act out the various court-
room roles in front of a real judge.
In addition Level also hosts a panel
discussion on a topic related to ac-
cess to justice which is planned and
hosted by 1Ls and helps them to
develop skills for event organiza-
tion.
If you would like to get involved in
Level please join our facebook
group “USask Level Chapter” for
updates relating to events and
group meetings.
The Law and Tech Club
by Tim Haggstrom (1L) & Mark Ber-
lin (1L)
The Law and Tech Student Club is
a group of law students with back-
grounds and interests in technolo-
gy, and how it affects and will affect
the practice of law. The purpose of
the Law and Tech Student Club is
to explore topics relating to Law
and Tech, initiating dialogue with
experts in law firms, academia, and
other areas that will help members
of the club understand how technol-
ogy is changing, has the potential
to change, and/or should change,
the legal profession. Club partici-
pants will develop an understand-
ing of what individual competencies
and pursuits will equip them for a
career in law given the impact of
rapidly evolving technology. If you
would like to be involved, please
find us on facebook as “U of S Law
& Tech Club”, and join!
Corporate Law Club
by Britannia Mohrbutter (2L) The Corporate Law Club is a stu-dent organization for individuals that aim to pursue a career in cor-porate law. Likewise, students who want to learn more about the prac-tice of corporate law are encour-aged to join. The events we have planned for this year include Pub Golf, Suits for the Stars, In-House Firm Tour and Discussion with Corporate Law-yers. Suits for the Stars is a suit drive where club members reach out to the legal community to collect suits to be given to those in need. Our In-House firm tour is where
club members tour various companies and meet with their In-House team. Last year’s tour included Cameco, Feder-ated Co-op and Concentra. This year’s speakers have not been confirmed. In the past, we have hosted Cristopher Masich from McKercher, and James Smith, a partner at Vancouver based firm Labarge Weinstein. They spoke on the topic of Emerging Trends in Corporate Law. The club communicates through our Facebook group – U of S Cor-porate Law Club. Please join the group if you’re interested in any of the above mentioned events. Our 2019-2020 Executive Commit-tee is as follows:
President: Britannia Mohrbutter Vice President: Aidan Sexsmith VP Social: Joelle French VP External: Brynn Achtymichuk VP Admin: Brittany Bezmutko Feel free to reach out to anyone on the executive committee with any questions or comments.

The U of S Runnymede Society
by Tito Kurc (3L)
As a club that focuses on engaging
students in current legal events and
fostering open discussion on a variety
of legal issues, we want to announce
that the club will be accepting event/
discussion proposals from members at
our next few meetings, which will be
starting up in October (join our Face-
book page “Runnymede Society – Uni-
versity of Saskatchewan” for more in-
formation). If you are interested in
joining the club or have any questions,
please contact Tito Kurc (Co-
President), Monica Fitzpatrick (Co-
President), or Maruska Giacchetto (VP
Communications).
Things to Note:
1) The Runnymede Society has
started a paper writing contest
(the “Runnymede Fellows Pro-
gram”) for anyone that writes a
paper on themes that include
constitutionalism, rule of law,
and individual liberty. There
are 2 cash prizes of $4000,
and the deadline to apply is
January 3, 2020.
2) The club is looking for a 1L
student to take on the execu-
tive position of VP Events. If
you’re interested, please sub-
mit your resume to Maruska
a).
The Usask Crim Law Club
by Jessica Quan (2L)
The USask Crim Law Club seeks to
give law students the opportunity to
experience and be exposed to dif-
ferent elements of the criminal jus-
tice system. Besides the events we
host, it’s nice to have a crew of
people who also like murder mys-
tery podcasts as much as you do.
This year we had our first network-
ing event where defence lawyers
and Crown prosecutors hung out
with us for the evening. And we
have more exciting events in store,
such as court sit-ins, tours through
the psychiatric centre, and speak-
ers throughout the year. We had
our first escape room last year and
we’re planning on hosting it again
for a second year.
Join our Facebook page “University
of Saskatchewan Criminal Law
Club” to stay updated on our she-
nanigans and what we’re up to.
Just Rights
by Darin Gette (3L) & Michelle
Brandsma (3L)
Just Rights is a social justice advo-
cacy group focused on promoting
access to justice both in the Saska-
toon community and beyond. Each
year we choose a local charity to
fundraise for and hold events such
as our Run for Justice, Art Auction,
Paint Night (coordinated with
Green Legal), and our ever popular
bake sales to raise money for the
cause. For the past several years
we have fundraised for CLASSIC,
which provides legal services for
those who are unable to afford
them and do not qualify for Legal
Aid. Just Rights also organizes a
movie night as well as a panel dis-
cussion as a way to inform and ed-
ucate people about issues related
to access to justice.
If you would like to get involved in
Just Rights please join our face-
book group, aptly named “Just
Rights”, for information related to
upcoming events and group meet-
ings. Darin photographed by Michelle probably

Legal Follies
by Katie Newman (3L), Colleen Konkin (3L), & Emily Barlas (3L)
The Legal Follies Variety Show is
the College of Law’s biggest com-
munity event – and according to
our VP Social’s survey, the top-
rated event of the year! This year’s
show will take place at the Broad-
way Theatre on January 31st-
February 1st and will be the 51
st
annual production. The show puts
our College’s talents – and general
shamelessness – to the
task of raising money for
a local charitable organi-
zation.
The Legal Follies Board
is already hard at work
putting together a great
show filled with singing,
dancing, and jolly good
f*cking times. So strap in,
we’re going for a ride.
See you at the finish line!

performance (photo by Shelby Fitzgerald)
by Brendan Thompson (1L)
In Edmonton, on the north
end of the Legislature grounds,
there’s a bland, innocuous, con-
crete building with desolate,
chipped stairwells. It is home to
some government financial offices.
It’s called the Haultain Building,
after Sir Frederick Haultain. His
portrait is hanging in the Legislature
across the hall from the lieutenant
governor’s office. He’s portrayed in
a tuxedo, devilishly handsome, with
a sly smirk, and a still smoking cig-
arette between his fingers. How
such a drab building could be erect-
ed bearing this man’s name just
two-hundred meters away is be-
yond me, but such is the city of Ed-
monton.
Saskatoon is not without its
own Haultain connections, which, I
might add, are significantly stronger
than Edmonton’s since the man
actually spent time here. The
neighbourhood of Haultain, obvi-
ously, is one striking example. But
there are other, more subtle ones.
Climb the stairs in the law library to
the second floor and walk around
the balcony to the east side where
the grad offices are. What you’ll
find is the image of an older, thin-
ner, frailer Haultain, proudly staring
out of the brush strokes that have
gathered him up here in this portrait
that we ignore on a daily basis.
Haultain was the first
Premier of Saskatchewan. He was
also the first Premier of Alberta.
Neither of those are exactly true,
but they’re in the spirit of what I
mean. Before the government of
Canada decided to call these two
prairie provinces by the names we
use today, it referred to this area as
the North-West Territories. Haultain
was the first and only premier of
that area. He’s also, largely, the
reason we have the two provinces
today. From the 1870s when Can-
ada “bought” this area until the
1890s, the North-West Territories
were administered mostly by one
individual, the lieutenant governor.
If these days the LG is a boring
figurehead that rubberstamps bills
into law, but he (and, shocker, it
was always a ‘he’ back then) was
the exact opposite a hundred and
thirty years ago. The lieutenant
governor carried out the wishes of
the Federal government and allo-
cated funds to the areas that Otta-
wa saw fit. I wouldn’t go as far as to
say that the lieutenant governor
was a puppet of the feds, but
“lifelike marionette” is probably not
far from the mark.
As you can imagine, the
territories weren’t exactly thrilled to
have their budget dictated to them
from thousands of miles away.

The Caveat Lector | Vol. 16, Issue 1 8
Even in the 1880s, western
alienation wasn’t a new concept in
Canada and Haultain wasn’t about
to sit around and let the federal
government walk all over the territo-
ries.
For example, in one ses-
sion of the legislature, he and his
council decided to resign out of pro-
test for lack of control of, well, any-
thing, really. Lieutenant Governor
Joseph Royal was left to appoint a
new council from the members of
the assembly. This new council was
more inclined to roll over and per-
form any sort of tricks that the LG
wanted it to, but Haultain was far
too good at rallying support. He and
twelve other members of the as-
sembly managed to vote down the
council, leaving Royal with only one
option. He had to make some con-
cessions to the elected politicians
based on what they believed their
constituencies actually needed. It
was just one step out of many that
would eventually lead Haultain to
win responsible government on the
prairies and in 1897 he was official-
ly named the Premier of the North-
West Territories.
Next, Haultain set his
sights on provincehood. His plan
called for a single political body
from the Rocky Mountains all the
way east to Manitoba. It would en-
compass everything that we today
call Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Haultain declared that the province
would be called “Buffalo.”
It’s interesting to speculate
how the country would be different
had Haultain’s plan actually come
to fruition. Where would the capital
have been? Would they have left it
in Regina or moved it somewhere
more central? I mean, how would
the Legislature in Lloydminster,
Buffalo have spread the oil money
around? We can’t be certain be-
cause it clearly never happened.
Haultain had tried to remain
non-partisan all his career, but the
Conservatives were the party in
Ottawa that supported his plan. The
only hope he had of seeing it actu-
alized was to throw his support be-
hind them. When the Liberals won
the next election, they took Haul-
tain’s advice on the province idea,
but put their own spin on it and the
rest, as they say, is history.
Haultain went on to lead
the opposition in Saskatchewan,
become the province’s Chief Jus-
tice, and become the Chancellor of
the University of Saskatchewan,
which is why his portrait hangs in
the library. You’d be hard pressed
to find a settler who has shaped the
province more than he did. Yes,
we’ve had some amazing politi-
cians since, but none of them could
have accomplished what they did
had it not been for the foundations
laid by Frederick Haultain.

October Horoscopes by Wouldn’t You Like to Know
Aquarius (January 22nd
– February 18th
)
We all know Aquariuses don't hesitate to copy-paste an
old case brief from some dusty CANs they found on their
google drive. You make it work because as an air sign,
you're creative and resourceful. For October, cool your
rebellious spirit and attend your 8:30 class and stop lying
to yourself that you'll "do the readings over lunch". Read-
ing week is around the corner anyways and you feel
happiest when you have freedom!
Pisces (February 19th
– March 20th
)
Let’s be honest, Pisces would win the 'most likely to cry
in the library' vote. It’s not your fault you're an emotional-
ly charged water sign. If you're a 1L, use your compas-
sion as a strength when one of your friends inevitably
gets way too upset over their memo next month. Support
your friends Pisces, because you'll need them when the
sun enters Scorpio on the 23rd. Drama alert!
Aries (March 21st
– April 20th
)
You are probably the one to "rally the troops" for a social
event and you won't hesitate to tell your beer pong part-
ner to get it together at the Law Games fundraiser. The
full moon is in your sign on the 13th, so this means you
might be feeling extra impulsive. If you send that risky
2am DM to the cutie in your class, feel free to blame the
planetary alignment if you get left on read. Come on Ar-
ies, shoot your shot!
(Continued on next page.)
The Caveat Lector | Vol. 16, Issue 1 9
Taurus (April 21st
– May 20th
)
We get it Taurus, as an earth sign,
you're reliable and practical. But if
you play Fantasy Football, you're
probably too stubborn to admit your
team could use some adjusting.
Tap into your indulgent side by ap-
preciating the small victories this
month. Did you find a case brief for
a boring case from the 1800's you
weren't going to read anyways? Did
you impress yourself by hitting par
at Pub Golf? You go, Taurus!
Gemini (May 21st
– June 20th
)
Geminis are a social sign and
will have all the insider tea
that unfolds at formal. Your
fall schedule will be packed
with fun! If you want to actual-
ly enjoy your reading week
instead of frantically reading
October cases for the first
time, resist your Gemini ten-
dency to gossip in the Lawby.
Try entering the library now
and then! Just don't resort to
watching The Office on your
laptop.
Cancer (June 21st
– July 22nd
)
Cancers feel most comfortable
amongst their tight knit group of
family or friends. However, law
school is about branching out and
trying new things! Resist the urge to
stay at home this month and sign
up for a social activity you normally
wouldn’t attend. With Venus enter-
ing Scorpio on October 8th, you're
sure to have a chance at some
spicy new relationships!
Leo (July 23rd
– August 22nd
)
Leos are notoriously confident and
animated. 1L Leo's likely flexed
their Welcoming Ceremony pho-
toshoot on IG and pretended not to
love the attention. This month try to
find a balance by tapping into your
generous side. Share your notes
with someone 'sick' after wine night,
or flirt back with that cutie you have
on snapchat when you're bored in
the library!
Virgo (August 23rd
– September
21st
)
If you're in 1L, you've likely become
the friend that is relied upon to re-
member the endless LRW assign-
ment due dates. Upper years, in
typical Virgo fashion you're able to
get (most of) your readings done
and still make it out to wine night.
Try to relax a little and flex your gift
of kindness, you'll enjoy it. Buy that
first pitcher at the Copper Mug! Gig-
gle at someone’s text in the group
chat mid lecture! You deserve it,
Virgo.
Libra (September 22nd
– October
20th
)
Mars enters Libra on the 4th, so
relationships are at the forefront.
How are your family and friends
doing, Libra? 1L Libra's, just stop
trying to explain what a tort is to
your non-law bff and send them
some light hearted memes. Upper
years... be the diplomat of your
squad and plan a hangout that eve-
ryone will enjoy this weekend!
Scorpio (October 21st
– Novem-
ber 20th
)
Your season is around the corner
but don't get too ahead of yourself,
Scorp. Try to lay off the intensity at
the beginning of this month so your
friends don't roll their eyes reading
your group chat updates. Once the
sun enters your sign on the 21st,
and Venus enters Scorpio on the
8th, you'll have the green light com-
bination to let your freak flag fly.
Sagittarius (November 21st
–
December 21st
)
Let your adventurous spirit fly
this season, Sag! Now is a good
time to try something new. Join a
new club, go to a lunch lecture
for more than the free pizza, or
dare I say it... try hanging out
with a SNAIL. With the new
moon on the 27th, the right envi-
ronment for fresh beginnings are
around the corner... I sense pas-
sion!
Capricorn (December 22nd
– Jan-
uary 21st
)
1L Capricorns have probably al-
ready picked their moot partner. As
responsible as Cap's often are, I
know upper years are probably
ready to blow off some steam.
Communication shifted on October
3rd because Mercury entered Scor-
pio (umm drama alert!). Keep this in
mind when you're spilling the tea in
the Lawby to unwind after class...
you don't want to someone to mis-
hear you!

To the 1Ls: The Importance of Showing Up to Everything
by Eric Dulle (3L)
Wear sunscreen. There have been hundreds of stud-
ies conducted by credible scientists which confirm
the positive effects that sunscreen can have on your
skin. Wearing sunscreen will prevent sun damage
and skin disease, while also keeping your skin look-
ing younger for longer.
That is probably the only advice that I can
offer you that I can virtually guarantee will benefit
your future. With that said, I think that there is at least
some value in sharing with you one of the most ben-
eficial lessons that I have learned in my short (yet
nearly concluded) tenure as a law student. The les-
son is this: show up to everything.
To get our terminology straight at the outset,
showing up to everything means making the most out
of the unique social atmosphere that Saskatchewan’s
College of Law offers. Our college (debatably, but not
really) does more than any other school in the country to
provide students with opportunities to get out of the li-
brary, and to meet their classmates and future co-
workers. We have sporting events, talent shows, a for-
mal (trust me, it’s not that kind of formal), and constant
club activities for students to take advantage of. In my
experience, showing up to these things has been im-
measurably beneficial to my life as a student, and for my
future career as a lawyer. I see the reasons for this to be
the following:
The first reason is simple: law school is short. As
I am sure my fellow 3Ls can attest to, it seems like the
time it takes to:
- Introduce two of your peers—Matthew Scott and
Erik Heuck—shortly before law school starts,
and watch them turn into family (Erik is the mom
and Matt is the child);
- Strike up a conversation with a person in the 1L
LSA membership line about Foreman Grills, not
knowing that this person will soon become one
of your best friends (shouts out to Travis Sylves-
tre);
- Do karaoke at the 1L Evil Fish party;
- Celebrate being done your first set of finals at the
End of Year Kegger;
- Reunite at the Beginning of Year Kegger in 2L;
- Be close to tears because you just can’t under-
stand Administrative Law;
- Showcase your talents and creativity at Legal Fol-
lies (shouts out to the Hallmeyers);
- Finish the articling process (for better or for worse);
- And now to be sitting here, waiting for the Basket-
ball Tournament;
goes by in the blink of an eye (shouts out to Professor
Vallance).
These upcoming years have the potential to
be some of the best years of your life.
I will bet money that you will look back more fondly on
the events you attended and the people you met along
the way, than on the hours that you spent studying.
The second reason is a bit more practical: show-
ing up to these events can help you in school. As I
touched on earlier, the USask College of Law provides
you with several opportunities to get to know your class-
mates. Fortunately for you, this includes getting to know
the Upper Year students. As you might have already
been told, Upper Year students are your greatest re-
source. They have been through the fire that you’re
about to pass into. They have learned your current
professor’s quirks, and understand what they are looking
for on the exams that you are soon going to take.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, they have tried
and true CANs that will help you to catch up on your
readings when you inevitably fall behind in them. The
better you get to know your greatest resource, the more
likely they are to give you said CANs, help you with a
tutorial question, and provide you with a shoulder to
weep on.* Seeing that the opportunities for starting con-
versations aren’t great in the library, it is in your best in-
terest to get to know them outside of the college setting.
This third and final reason might come as the
biggest surprise: showing up to everything can help you
get a job. In many law firms, it is common practice for the
hiring partners to ask their incoming articling students,
current articling students, and young associates for their
opinions on current 1Ls who have applied for Summer
Student positions. In this situation, there are two scenari-
os that you do not want to apply to you: (1) you do not
want the people who have secured a position at these
firms to tell the hiring partners something negative about
you, and (2) you do not want to them to have never
heard of you. As a lawyer once explained to me: “if you
are unknown by the people you went to school with, the
hiring partners will automatically begin to ask questions
such as ‘why aren’t they known?’ ‘Do they not go out?’
‘Are they clique-y?’ ‘Are they not team players?’”
This is a train of thought you want the people hiring you
to avoid. While the former scenario may be beyond your
control (because you cannot fully control how people
perceive you), doing your best to show up and befriend
your peers will be your greatest defence against the lat-
ter.
Before I end, I would be remiss if I did not clarify
that I am not suggesting that you let your grades fall by
the wayside. This would be foolish. You have spent a
tremendous amount of time, energy, and money to get
into law school. You owe it to yourself and to your loved
ones to give the academic side of law school “110%”;
whether it be to make yourself or others proud, or to in-
crease your chances of being hired. But, you also owe it
to yourself to “diversify” your hirability by making yourself
known (in a positive light) to the law firms that will be hir-
ing you, to the upper-year students who have secured a
position at these firms, and to the individuals that you
might end up working with for the majority of your career.
So get out there, and enjoy these moments while
you can (also, I’m serious about the sunscreen thing).
Looking forward to seeing you all at the Law
Games Scavenger Hunt Fundraiser.
Cheers,
Eric
*Please note that most if not all Upper Year students are more than
willing to help you out if you ask them nicely. We have all been there,
and we all want to ensure you’re as confident as possible throughout
the year.
Advice from the Wisest People we Know by Tina Shaygan (2L) & Jess Quan (2L)
Each issue, 2L students Tina and JQuan will answer a few of the questions anonymously submitted to this col-
umn, Ask Tina & JQuan. Interested to see your questions featured? Stay tuned for the next issue of the Caveat.
Question—Dear JQuan & Tina, If either of you were
elected Prime Minister in the upcoming election, what
would be your first move as the new PM?
Regards, Human
Answer:
Tina:
Dear Human,
My first act as your new PM would be to release a new
healthcare plan, which will include coverage for prescrip-
tion medication, comprehensive dental care, and a na-
tionalized monthly column of real-life stories about peo-
ple doing so much better than their exes. I would also
end the practice of keeping migrant detainees in maxi-
mum security prisons and instead focus on the real
crime plaguing this country: straight boys putting
“actually 19, will be a hit with your ‘rents” as their Tinder
bio.
Unfortunately, our names will not be on the ballot this
upcoming October — but we encourage you to get out
there and vote for someone who shares your values.
Unless you have shitty values — then vote for someone
who shares OUR values.
JQuan:
My #1 priority would be to protect the s.7 Charter right to
leave class to go and Juul in the men’s washroom. Also,
electoral reform and adopting UNDRIP would be nice.

by Mackenzie Stewart (3L)
As we all know from hours spent binge-watching Netflix, law-
yers (and by extension - law students) lead fascinating lives full
of scandal. As your resident busy-body, I have taken it upon
myself to compile the deepest secrets of the college of law
which range from the sad, to the horny, to the kind of boring.
From your peers to you, this is law school confessions:
1. I confess that I am super bored with this university! HOW
DO I GET FRIENDS? *insert internal screaming*
2. 3L advice to the 1Ls, don't use Google Docs during exams,
or if you do, at least be smart enough not to get caught.
3. I have cried in class more than once. Probably more than a
dozen times.
4. I don’t know anyone’s name and it’s been three years.
5. have the hots for pretty much every guy in law with a
moustache.
6. I cry in the library basement sometimes…
7. I am obsessed with Ron C. C. Cuming. He is the sweetest
man. He should be granted immortality to remain a profes-
sor at the College forever.
8. Is Graham M. the hottest 3L? I love a tall man.
9. I’m kind of disappointed about how easy 2L readings are
turning out to be. I was kind of looking forward to finally div-
ing into some nasty material.
10. I always make sure to sit near the back of the class in Biz
Org so I can lovingly stare at Mady Chauvet <3 She is an
angel sent from above and wow, I love her.
11. I wish my life at law school was spicy enough to foster a
scandalous confession, but I mostly just stay home and
avoid reading by any means possible.
12. Joelle French is the most beautiful girl in the College.
13. I have a Starbucks addiction.
14. Suits is my favourite show.
15. Sarah Roesler is ravishing.
16. I had multiple serious spelling mistakes on my resume and I
still got a summer job. Lol.
17. I want to marry Jessica Quan.
18. I’m gay, but my parents would disown me if I came out to
them. So instead I pretend I’m just too busy studying to
date anyone.
19. I want to ask Dani Ray out but I'm nervous she'll say no.
Law School Confessions
Mackenzie made several appearances in HBO’s hit
series, Game of Thrones. She played the oft-
misunderstood septa Unella, who wanted nothing
more than for Cersei to confess and get on with her
life.

(Continued from page 11.)
Question—How to marry a doctor
Answer:
Tina: This is a question that has
occupied the minds of many law
students, including myself. Factor-
ing in the busy schedules of law
students along with their generally
mediocre social skills, I would opt
for a straight-forward approach.
You should download Tinder if you
don’t already have the app, create
an account and put “looking to mar-
ry a doctor” as your bio. Then, re-
duce your Tinder search radius to
1km, pack your bags, and start
studying at the Health Sciences
Library instead of the Law Library.
Now we wait. Please invite us to
the wedding.
JQuan: Med students travel in
packs throughout Health Sciences
and have those nice backpacks. So
they’re easy to locate (on an aside
why don’t law students get nice
backpacks??) which means that
your options are pretty open from
here. “Falling” and pretending you
need medical assistance? Sure.
Following, then serenading a med
student with the song “Wonderwall”
by Oasis? Also foolproof. What
could possibly go wrong!
Question—I’m hoping to get a
clerkship, but I got rejected from
Law Review. What should I do to
try to improve my qualifications?
Answer:
Tina: If I knew how to get on Law
Review, I would be on Law Re-
view!!!! This question cuts too deep
for me to answer.
JQuan: Honestly, just write for
the Caveat. It’s basically the same
thing as Law Review.
Question—What is the best way to
go about dating in law school?
There are a lot of great people in
the college, but I don’t want to burn
bridges if things don’t work out. Is it
just better to date outside the col-
lege altogether? What do you do if
you hate Tinder too?
Answer:
Tina: I’m glad you asked. There is
actually a legal test adopted by the
SCC for how to go about dating in
law school.
Preliminary inquiry: Who are these
“great people in the College” you
speak of? Re-evaluate if they are
truly “great” before moving on to the
next stage:
Are you in 1L? If so, you should
be focused on keeping your
head above the water. How
do you even have time for
dating?! This time last year
I was still trying to find the
Starbucks on campus.
Are you in 2L? You should be
focused on getting excel-
lent grades, clerkship appli-
cations, and articling re-
cruitment.
Are you in 3L? Then who
cares? You won’t see these
people again!!! (Just kid-
ding. YoUr RePuTaTiOn
MaTtErS).
JQuan: I would recommend for
you to burn ALL your bridges with
everyone you care about, and ac-
cept a future of solitude and de-
spondency. Your future is looking
bleak given your decision to enter
the legal sphere. But also for con-
text, I’m in a dark place right now
since I’m currently attempting to
learn how the law of evidence
works.
Question—I’m in love with my
roommate but I don’t know how to
tell them. I’m also worried things
will become weird between us.
What should I do??
Answer:
Tina: I once forgot some
“personal items” in the dryer, which
my roommate had to take out and
put on top of the dryer because he
needed to use it. I can confirm
things indeed “became weird be-
tween us” and that experience has
been haunting my every waking
hour since. So, purely based on
personal experience, I would advise
against telling your roommate any-
thing while you still live together.
I know it’s difficult but channel that
energy into writing love songs or
something instead — Fleetwood
Mac’s greatest hits were made from
the band members’ earth-shattering
heart breaks.
JQuan: Don’t do it. But if you plan
on it, I would advise that you be-
come familiar with The Residential
Tenancies Act in the event that you
have to break your lease and disap-
pear off the face of the earth. Hit us
up if you need tips on how to adopt
a new fake identity.

The University of Saskatchewan is
unique for the College of law be-
cause the Wiyasiwewin
Mikiwahp Native Law Centre is
located here. Many Indigenous
scholars have started their ca-
reers here and have now gone
on to become lawyers, politi-
cians, judges, professors, and
people of high influence. It is
important to have Indigenous
representation especially in our
legal system where there are
many ongoing violations hap-
pening to our people, communi-
ties, and the land.
Rather than remaining
stuck in negative colonial stere-
otypes and biases that have
been passed down from gener-
ation to generation keeping
Indigenous peoples out of the
economy and professions,
these barriers need to be bro-
ken down. At the same time,
the weight of trying to educate
others who we are as Indige-
nous peoples should not only fall
on Indigenous students’ shoul-
ders. This should be community-
driven, where everyone is able to
take the time to unlearn and relearn
different worldviews and the truths
about the land in which they live
and are proud to call home.
Learning the truth can only
benefit the future and what we are
passing onto our children. I do not
want my daughters to grow up in a
system facing discrimination. I
have a vivid memory as a child be-
ing made fun of in my powwow re-
galia at age 6 when I wore it to
school on a culture day. I was one
of the few Indigenous students at
an urban school and I quit dancing
after this.
Truths need to be acknowl-
edged by the wider society. A for-
eign system was forced on Indige-
nous peoples and in the process of
that imposition, it dismantled Indig-
enous governance systems, laws,
culture and language. The children
were targeted through the residen-
tial school system and that is why
Orange Shirt Day is now an annual
event. This is also why it is im-
portant to remember as Halloween
approaches that people’s culture
and identity, that has already gone
through severe harms, is not some-
thing to be mocked, and is there-
fore not a costume.
I want to highlight the new
logo the Indigenous Law Students’
Association is proud to introduce
this year. As quoted by the presi-
dent of ILSA, Rheana Worme, “This
logo was created by artist Tanis
Worme. Lady justice takes a new
form as a visibly Indigenous wom-
an. Racialized Indigenous women
and visible minorities in the legal
system undergo unique chal-
lenges that we must
acknowledge. Lady Justice is
blindfolded (due to the ongoing
injustices that we are chal-
lenged to see/study but over-
come as Indigenous students)
but her expression of serious-
ness is still very much felt. In
our logo, she is holding the
scales of justice in one hand
and an eagle feather in the oth-
er, signify Indigenous culture’s
inherent value in truth-telling.
Her judge tabs have been re-
placed with a bone choker and
dentalium shells. The red moon
behind her represents the Miss-
ing and Murdered Indigenous
Women’s calls for justice and is
a symbol of protection for all
Indigenous women. Tanis
Worme is an emerging visual
artist from Treaty #6 territory.
She is Nehiyaw and a member of
the Poundmaker Cree Nation with
roots to Mistawasis and Kawaca-
toose First Nations.”
It is important to support
and highlight Indigenous artists and
students. We need to uplift each
other and continue to open doors
like those who have come before
us. We must continue breaking
down misrepresentations and cre-
ating space for more Indigenous
knowledge and youth to have a
voice and opportunities to continue
to help lead the way for all children.
Pidamaya,
Alyson Bear

Re: Cover Letter Template1
Dear Law Firm,
Law Firm sticks out as an employer because it has an open job application. I am in my first month of law school
and would welcome the opportunity to bring your firm my vast breadth of legal knowledge, that I am certain only I can
personally provide.
Throughout my time at a Good for Your Resume Job, I threw up in the office bathroom only once—and that was
just because I was hungover! During my employment, I spent considerable time developing my soft skills. For instance, I
am happy to report that the results of my love language quiz confirmed I am a gift giver, with a special emphasis on gift
receiving. During this position, my supervisor even gave me her Dairy Queen blizzard after it failed the upside-down test
and she got a replacement.
I then spent several months as the CEO of reception at the industry-leading Celebrity Nose Job Insurance Com-
pany. I was particularly distinguished at buying only the least smudgy pens. I also stringently followed company policy
that leftover food went to reception, even when I would miraculously order an extra everything bagel (with herb-and-
garlic cream cheese) whenever I was asked to order “just” the executives lunch. I even applied my wordsmithing skills to
write literary masterpieces asking my colleagues to quit leaving their dirty dishes in the sink. And like any good lawyer, I
took absolutely none of the blame when my boss realized that (mysteriously) double the number of drink tickets were
distributed at the company holiday party than he’d approved. That being said, I am a strong proponent of the innocent
until proven guilty principle.
I look forward to meeting you to further discuss my fit for this position. I know that I can bring my ability to talk
about my abilities, especially those of which I do not actually have (I got a 180 on the LSAT without studying). Lastly, my
Instagram is @beeebakes if you’d like to toss me a follow.
Warmest regards,

A Time-Traveler’s Guide to the Past by Corbin Golding (1L)
So you’ve finally finished your Time Machine.
They all laughed, but by-gum you’ve done it. They all
said you were crazy, spending so much time in the lab,
assembling that lightning rod on the balcony, and hiring a
hunchback assistant from Craigslist and then making him
wear that black cloak and call you “m’ lord”, but by-God
you’ve done it. They all told you it would never work, to
give up, to trim your fingernails, to take a shower for
God’s sake, but by-Babadook you’ve done it.
And yet there you are, letting time pass you by in
a regular way like all those non-Time-Machine-having
chumps. A tragic waste of human potential. You could be
out there, exploring time itself like the diachronic traveler
you are.
Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Sure I can
travel through time, but nothing interesting has ever hap-
pened except what’s happening right now, so where
would I go? Why should I leave the present? How do you
know what I’m thinking? How can I hear your voice but
your lips aren’t moving?”
All will be explained in due time, especially since
there’s so much time available to you now. But first, to
get you started on your chronological adventures, I have
provided a list of all of the most fascinating things that
have happened this month in history, which I encourage
you to explore. I assure you that all of these events really
happened, no matter what such trivial things like
‘experts’ or ‘books’ or ‘common sense’ might tell you. So
hop into your Time Machine, punch in these coordinates,
and for the love of God don’t touch anything!
October 2
1925 AD – John Logie Baird invents the television. It
takes quite a while to catch on, as the only program
available is a show about Baird himself staring directly
into the camera for hours on end.
October 6
1889 AD – Thomas Edison shows his first motion pic-
ture. While the reviews are rather scathing, to be fair,
most of the critics did forget to put on their 3D glasses.
October 9
1003 AD – The Viking Leif Erikson lands in Newfound-
land, Canada. He celebrates with the first-ever recorded
Shed Party. There were no survivors.
October 10
1913 AD – President Woodrow Wilson triggers the ex-
plosion of the Gamboa Dike, which ends the construction
on the Panama Canal. Thirteen Dutch children who were
plugging the dike with their fingers are injured in the
blast.
October 11
1910 AD – Theodore Roosevelt becomes the first Ameri-
can president to fly in an airplane. Archibald Hoxsey pi-
loted the plane while Roosevelt himself continuously
wound the rubber band which powered it.
October 12
1692 AD – The Salem Witch Trials are concluded. In
total, twenty-six people are executed for witchcraft,
though only sixteen of them were actual witches. The
rest were: four wizards, three druids, two Bacchantes,
and one goblin. Most historians agree that only the wiz-
ards deserved it. There is a scholarly debate regarding
whether the goblin was really a hobgoblin (hint: a hob-
goblin has a hob).
October 14
1789 AD – George Washington declares the first
Thanksgiving Day. The parade is a bit of a letdown since
Santa Clause, a Loyalist, was not invited.
October 16
1923 AD – The Walt Disney Company is founded by
Walt Disney, Roy Disney, and an anthropomorphic
mouse named Miguel who refused to wear a shirt to any
of the board meetings and later unsuccessfully sued the
brothers for defamation.
October 19
1512 AD – Martin Luther becomes a Doctor of Theology.
Luther continued his career as a quiet priest who kept
mostly to himself, never causing any trouble.
October 22
1926 AD – Harry Houdini is punched in the stomach by
J. Gordon Whitehead before a performance in Montreal,
Canada, causing injuries from which he would die a few
days later. Whitehead was, in fact, a rival wizard who
had been feuding with Houdini for several centuries. The
horcrux containing Houdini’s soul has never been found.

The Caveat Lector | Vol. 16, Issue 1 18
October 23
1930 AD – The first miniature golf tournament takes place in Chattanooga, Tennessee after a terrible accident involving a shrink ray.
October 24
1901 AD – Annie Edson Taylor goes over Niagara Falls in a barrel, becoming the first ever person to do so. Never ones to be outdone, President Theodore Roosevelt later goes over Victoria Falls in a waste-paper basket, while King Edward VII goes over the Cliffs of Dover in a tin of peaches.
October 25
1813 AD – During the War of 1812, Canadian forces defeat the Americans at the Battle of Chateauguay. No one notices for several weeks.
October 26
1881 AD – The Gunfight at the O.K. Corral takes place, a bloodbath which puts to shame the Knife-fight at the Alright Pen and the Stick-fight at the Satisfactory Enclosure. Though, the Thumb-war at the Half-Assed Shed maintains the highest death count in the history of the West.
October 29
1390 AD – The first secular trial for witchcraft takes place in Paris when Jehanne de Brigue is accused of sorcery. The chief witness for the prosecution was Jehanne’s own pet toad, Fortescue, who provided lurid and shocking details as part of his plea agreement, before disappearing in a puff of oily black smoke.

Nothing interesting has ever happened on this date. Please stay at home.
(Continued from page 16) QUIZ ANSWERS:
a. Crim - You lead a spicy yet mysterious life full of secrets and scandals. You probably think that you ’re cool and edgy because you like true crime documentaries and Lana Del Rey. You’re also like, prettyyy sure Epstein’s death wasn’t a suicide. On the bright side, you’re also one of those people who can actually pull off bangs.
b. Contracts - You’re bold, pragmatic, and the life of the party. You’re the person who can drink a lot but will still have their life to-gether at the end of the night. Much like offer, acceptance, and consideration, you’re a simple person who has simple needs. How-ever, similar to the laws of contracts, you could become a significantly better person with a tiny bit of socialism added to your views.
c. Property - Yikeeeees. We are so sorry about your result. Much like the concept of deferred indefeasibility, you can be frustrating and a bit irrational at times. People probably hang out with you out of pity. However, you are sensible, practical, and generally okay I guess. CIBC Mortgages something something...we don’t know, okay? Property is hard.
d. Constitutional - You’re that friend who listens to one (1) political podcast and comes out to the next group outing extremely fired up and chaotic. You say things like “ugh, everyone gets their news from social media these days. Facebook comment debates are your own personal Vietnam. In 55 years, when your grandkids ask you what you did during politically turbulent times, you will sigh and say, “I was tweeting viral content, like a true revolutionary”.
e. Torts - You’re everyone’s favourite friend. Your motto is “yee in the streets, haw in the sheets”, but every time you wake up after a night out you have to re-evaluate your entire life. Someone pulled a chair from under an old lady? Yup, that was you. Punched the wall drunk? Also you. Called your friend’s parents to tell them your friend is dead “as a joke”? You guessed it, you. Okay, fine!!! You’re Jorge (If you’re not Jorge and you got Torts as your result, do the quiz again and be honest with yourself next time).
