“What's special about Queen’s Law is that the sense of community extends beyond formalized groups and events. It’s the everyday kindness that students and faculty show to one another and their willingness to go above and beyond in supporting each other that makes this such a special place.” Those are the words of Zach Rudge, Law’22, one of the winners of the 2022 Law Students’ Society (LSS) awards.
