I am a second year law student in the English Common Law program. Before coming to law school I completed a BA and an MA in Political Science. I love being involved with the law & tech community at the Faculty of Law because it allows me to learn about innovative and cutting-edge developments in technology, as well as legal responses to technological and societal changes. This year I’m in charge of the budget and it would be great to hear your suggestions about how we can raise more money to put on lots of fun law & tech events.

I am a second year student in the French common law program. Prior to law school, I studied commerce at Concordia University in Montreal. I am interested the interaction of technology and law because technology now plays a dominant role in our daily lives and the problems it might create are new to the judicial system. I’m attracted by e-commerce regulation, copyright/trademarks, taxation and corporate law. Outside the LTSS, I’m involved, amongst other things, with CIPPIC (cippic.ca) and I do pro bono work with Beyond Borders, an organization that advances the rights of children (beyondborders.org). This year, I invite you to get involved with the LTSS, come to our events, you’ll meet new friends and who knows, you might learn a thing or two. Feel free to stop me in the corridors if you have some questions about the LTSS.
