LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Pablo Mhanna-Sandoval | 2L
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to those members of the Faculty that attended the Quid Novi’s AGM this past Thursday. It was a pleasure to meet face-to-face with so many of the talented and assiduous law students that make the Quid possible. Without engaging in exceptionalism, I really wish to stress how talented members of this community are. Further, the breadth of the disciplines represented in that talent is astonishing. The Faculty is populated with maddeningly good singers and musicians, intimidatingly adept athletes, and side-splittingly (sometimes unintentionally) funny comedians. One can only imagine where
this lot would be had they not heeded the perfectly reasonable siren call of the law. If only there was a yearly event that promised to showcase the Faculty’s talent in a comedic and jovial environment. If only a decades-long tradition passed down to us by our Faculty ancestry promised an evening of art and laughs and self-deprecation, all within an impressive venue. And if only auditions for such an event–if it even exists– would be annouced within the next few weeks. What a sight that would be. Ah, well. No use engaging in fantastical thought exercises. Please enjoy this week’s edition of the Quid Novi.
