Elections for LSSO Executive positions will be taking place during this year’s Annual General Meeting. Candidates must be enrolled in an undergraduate law program (e.g., JD, JD/MBA, or other related programs) at an Ontario law school during the 2024-2025 school year.
The 4 positions for election are:
(1) President;
(2) Vice-President (Internal);
(3) Vice-President (External);
(4) Equity Officer
Candidates are elected in this order by the LSSO Council. Candidates for President must not serve as an executive on their law school's student government in the upcoming year.
