LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Over in a Sneeze Jessica Keer Li | 3L
Dear McGill Law, An interesting classroom phenomenon occurs when February is upon us: an inverse correlation emerges between thinning class attendance and the increasing echoes of “bless you,” as colds make their rounds. Indeed, for a delightful take on the former — embracing academic imperfection — see Caroline Homet’s wonderful piece on being a ‘bad student’. In just a few days, our two-week scholarly hiatus begins, marking the first quarterly migration of law students in 2025 to all corners of the world. In mid-March,
when we return to Chancellor Day Hall, we will, fortunately and quickly, be able to trade the current February blues for the promise of spring, pre-finals angst, and find solace in the academic year’s approaching close. Much like the drawn-out anticipation before a sneeze finally yields quick relief, this winter — and this semester — will swiftly pass, leaving behind a sense of satisfaction all too soon forgotten. Back at you (achoo), McGill Law, Jessica
