After more than a year of planning, meetings, and voting, the new chairs at the Law Library have arrived – and we think they look pretty fantastic. It was time to replace the out-of-date, stained blue chairs that were so beloved by the Law students. Finding them a close replacement was not an easy feat. We made sure that the students had a voice throughout the entire process. So far the feedback has been quite positive. If you find yourself in our neck of the woods come check them out for yourself! 

The Law Library put together a display for this year’s Indigenous Achievement Week’s theme of “Powerful Voices.” The display profiles four exceptional Indigenous Lawyers who made huge contributions to Saskatchewan throughout their careers.

The Display includes William Ivan Clarke Wuttunee who was the first Indigenous Lawyer to graduate from the University of Saskatchewan’s College of Law program and become the first Indigenous Lawyer in Western Canada. Our display includes excerpts from Robert McBain’s book, Their Home and Native Land for which he had exclusive interviews with Wuttunee.

The display will be up for the remainder of the week. Please feel free to come and have a look and read about the other three exceptional lawyers we have on display: Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, Eleanore Sunchild, and Donald Worme.

The Christmas spirit has arrived! If you feel like taking a walk, come by and pay us a visit and stroll through our winter wonderland. From everyone at the Law Library, we wish you a happy holiday season and a fantastic New Year!

The Law Library brought their best Halloween faces today! Please meet our Book Wizard and Book Fairies. If you’re lucky, you may find them fluttering around the Library assisting students, keeping the collection organized, and sprinkling fairy dust everywhere they go. Sadly, our Supervisor Fairy is out with the Fairy Flu today and could not be here with us.

Fairy wings, skirts, wands and Wizard scarf were all recycled and made from discarded books removed from the Law Collection.

From our Library to yours, Happy Halloween everyone!

Ghostly apparitions will be haunting the Law Library for the remainder of October. The display features a collection of ghost stories and a graveyard of 18^th Century Gothic writers. Keep your eyes peeled for the friendly ghosts all dressed up for court. Could one of them be Diefenbaker himself?
